But will it creep people out anymore by Matt Buchanan BuzzFeed Staff There was a time when people were afraid of. JustSpotted co-founder AJ Asver told The Hollywood Reporter the site is not “real-time enough” for users to dash madly around New York or Hollywood to gawk at celebrities. Gawker Stalker, the infamous celebrity-tracking Google Maps mashup, is back. Some may be concerned that JustSpotted can put a celebrity’s safety at risk by publicly broadcasting their location. JustSpotted will, however, continue to use Twitter’s publicly available application programming interface (API) to access celeb-related tweets. at 9:27 am Expand Some of Gawker's biggest moments included its reporting on former Toronto mayor Rob Ford's drug use, posting Hulk Hogan's sex tape, posting an anonymous account of.

Shortly after the Stalker Map launched, Hollywood publicist Stan Rosenfield–who has worked with many A-list celebrities such as George Clooney, Helen Mirren, and Robert DeNiro–called the site “a dangerous thing,” according to the Associated Press. Gawker didn’t aggregate data from Twitter or Facebook, but relied solely on user submissions. If this set-up sounds familiar that’s because Gawker launched a similar feature in 2006 called Gawker Stalker Maps.
