Don't really answer the topic but how do you know you are being stalked?
Xanga footprints or other blog feeds (a massive spike in blog visiting activity for example).

Usually, those are the only ways to know if you don't know the stalker.

an easy way to figure out is simply to create a new blog/website with your internet name. (but that blog/website must have a visitor tracker). Xanga is probably best for that (as it tends to show the URL of the referrals - and it displays the state of the person). Websites with IP tracking kind of work (but I don't know any that show "referral URL")

Sometimes, the stalker might make off-hand comments (but those cases are usually rare).

When you know who the stalker is though (and when there is some degree of trust) - the stalker will often tell you that they did it (this usually comes with mutual trust - a few people did tell me that they googled my internet name and used the google cache on my old blogs - and they perceived that I wouldn't mind that. )
