Received an email from SL stating someone was following me (provided the name), what does this mean?

[Ana Alchemi]

Does someone know?

All it means is that someone has elected to "follow" the RSS feed on your profile at my.secondlife.com/Ana.Alchemi.  It's an annoying facebooky thing.  If you really don't like it -- I don't, myself -- you can adjust the Privacy settings in your profile to the maximum, so that nobody can post to or follow your page at all.

The Facebook like social networking can be fun and handy. The best part is you can share images without having to pay to upload the image.

KarenMichelle Lane [aka DJ Divinity] cues up the song "I'll Be Watching You" by The Police.

All the answers are spot on Ana.

Not to worry, this is Social Networking a la SecondLife. You can totally control if people who find you interesting are allowed to follow your updates by updating your MySecondLife settings.
