Googles New Feature Alarming

Google has implemented a new feature which
> enables you to type a telephone number into the
> search bar and hit enter and you will be given the
> person's name and address. If you then hit Map you
> will get a map to the person's house. Everyone
> should be aware of this! It's a nationwide reverse
> telephone book.
>
> If a child gives out his/her phone number, someone
> can now look it up to find out where he/she lives.
> The safety issues are obvious, and alarming!!!
>
> Note that you can have your phone number removed
> or blocked. I tried my number and it came up along
> with the mapquest and directions straight to our
> house. I did fill out the removal form for myself,
> and encourage all of you to do the same. Quite
> scary!
>
> Please look up your own number!!!!!!!
>
> In order to test whether your phone number is
> mapped, go to: Google ( http://www.google.com/ )

Karl Rose   THANKS for such useful info. I had a DREADED person look me up OUT OF NOWHERE recently. We changed things. But now it appears I will have to use your 'google test' because I thought we 'escaped' again. I gues not. Karl Mar 13th 2008 11:34
