Google has implemented a new feature wherein you can type someone's
telephone number into the search bar and hit enter and then you will be
given a map to their house.
Everyone should be aware of this! Note that you can have your phone
number removed or blocked. Before forwarding this, I tested it by typing
my telephone number in google.com. My phone number came up, and when I
clicked on the MapQuest link, it actually mapped out where I live.
Scary.
Please look up your own number. Think about it--if a child, ANYONE gives out his/her phone number, someone can
actually now look it up to find out where he/she lives. The safety
issues are obvious, and alarming.
