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. Quite scary.
Please look up your own number. Read below for
details. 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. In
order to test whether your phone number is
mapped, go to: http://www.google.com/
<http://www.google.com/>

Type your phone number in the search bar (i.e.
555-555-1212) and hit enter. If you want to BLOCK
Google from divulging your private information,
simply click on the telephone icon next to your
phone number. Removal takes 48-hours.

If you are unlisted in the phone book, you might
not be in there, but it is a good idea just to
check. If your number does come up if you hit map,
it will show you a direct map to your house...
Please forward on to friends and family.

Really, how is this different from any phone book listing?

If you aren't in the phone book, you aren't in here either.

Reverse directories have been around a long time.

If your phone number does not appear then don't worry, my friend.

Funny, my current one doesn't and I am in the book.

Teach the children well.

But who do you give your number to anyway? Any hairy-legged guy in a trenchcoat?

Are you going to stalk two guys at the same time?

Somebody else's name is in there with my number. Now I know why I keep getting calls for this Rudy person...

Not any different than calling 411 or picking up the phone book. They'll give you addresses to, as long as that person is listed.

Be Careful with this, Google (and other search engines) keep a active table of recent searches.

The fact she's even asking scares the hell out of me.

I heard Malik's already had to change his phone number, email, and license plate twice b/c of Spursgal.

Do you want another inanimate object to have a restraining order against you?

not to be one of those ..but you could do the phone search for well over a year...at least. But i've noticed landlines are kept but not cell phones and recent landlines aren't kept.

I usually use it when I get calls to my cell and I don't recognize the #. I don't usually get a hit...
