Please rob me

in Internet, Social Media, Twitter

Before we share our location on social media like Twitter, Foursquare or Google Buzz; we should seize the danger of publishing our location over the Internet.

Stories of house robbing after status updates on social media sites had become common.

PleaseRobMe.com is a new website that show us how with a relatively simple search engine based on status updates, we can find out who’s home and who’s not and even where people is.

The purpose of the site is to expose the danger we put ourselves in, by sharing publicly our location. We hope that the info available on this site doesn’t end up in the wrong hands.
