More on Goooogle

I'm sharing this after it was passed on to me by sometime list participant GZ; I happen to think it is important:

http://www.google.com/

Type your telephone number into Google's search bar (minus the first 1) & click the search button. Your name and address and phone number will appear. There will be an icon next to your address "Yahoo Maps". Click this and a map to your house will pop up with directions to your house from anywhere in the country.

People could use this feature to locate your home address, and receive explicit directions on how to get there from anywhere in the country. You can remove your name off this database-- To do this...type in your full phone number...555-123-4567

If your number appears in the mapping database, an icon resembling a telephone will appear next to the entry on the results page. Click on this icon and it will take you to a page containing a description of the service, and a link to request your number be removed!

Cheers,
Jon
