There's a site that looks for Twitter tweets that tells the world when you've left your house. It's called "Please Rob Me". I read about this a couple days ago, but the phrase "leaving an empty house" led me to believe that the tweeter had just moved out, trolling any would-be burglars.

Saw it today morning when friend of mine send me a link. Quite an irony, he's got Facebook and now even Buzz and one time he was using google tracker or how is that service called (the one which logs your GPS coordinates on the map, so everybody can see, where you are at given moment).

EDIT:
The itpro website seems to have gone down as well.

In that case, why is Twitter still up and running?

Twitter has more/bigger servers? They want to be huge, so installed capacity.

You have heard the term slashdotted before, haven't you?

They're currently back. They should add a city filter. This would help robbers find potential targets; and make it easier for the actual idiots revealing this information to see themselves as a target.

Arthur: this, I've thought that maybe they were shut down because of the nature of information they provided.

What I've learned:

Facebook has a crappy interface that only old people like to use
Google will sponsor any project without first measuring how lucrative it is
Facebook likely sells client data
US citizens should be required to have a license to operate a PC
Facebook users can comment on a blog using their facebook login while simultaneously not knowing how to log into facebook
There are a lot of beautiful people on facebook, because they sure aren’t intelligent
God has a very poor sense of humor
Speaking of God... Matthew can we lock this and let it die?

Ah, but the whole point is God never gives you any proof of His existence or intervention. We're free to attribute everything inanely funny, or alternatively everything of failed funny, to God if we wish, and Who's to argue?
