| Scary Google Privacy Problem Just the other day I said to a coworker "The reason I love Google is because it does EVERYTHING". ... Well today someone just pointed out something Google does that I find quite scary. They have implemented a combination reverse directory and searchable white pages. Type your full phone number in and it will show your HOME ADDRESS!!! If you know only someones name and their state, that's all you need to know. (I've even found some of you who use your real names here.) http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&l...John+Doe%2C+CA Just to see how much it could do I found almost everone in my family, plus some folks I barely know. Here are the details about the search criteria: http://www.google.com/help/features.html#wp

| Well ... I have used google (and years ago altavita) to search for phone numbers and with success. I wonder if you can find any of my phone numbers with google?  I had 6 of which 5 are lost .. and of which none are registered to me. And of which none should be published anywhere in web. So .. probably finding only some Wired articles and photographic publishings, nothing more.
