Did You Know?

Got this from our HR deptartment at work, Val has kind of touching on things like this happening, so I thought that I would post this.

GOOGLE has implemented a new feature wherein you can type someone's telephone 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 Map Quest 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 or anyone give out his/her phone number, someone can actually now look it up and find out where he/she lives. The safety issues are obvious and alarming. In order to test whether you phone number is mapped go to 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 Goggle from divulging your private information, simply click on the telephone icon next to your phone number. Removal takes 48 hr's. If you are unlisted in the phone book, you might not be in there, but a good idea to check. If your number does come up if you hit map it will show a direct map to your house. Please forward on to friends and family.
