PleaseRobMe.com – Is The Danger Real?

Posted on February 19th, 2010 by admin in Domain News | 1 Comment »

A lot of big sites have featured PleaseRobMe.com – the mock website that shows the dangers of Tweeting out FourSquare physical locations – in the last few days (Techcrunch, Gawker, Mashable just to name a few).

The website, which is basically a glorified Twitter search page for @foursquare status updates, highlights locations of people who are not at home.

Why is this so important?

Because FourSquare (the website that lets you “discover” places) allows your friends to “discover” your home – revealing your home address on a map for would be robbers. If you reveal your current location via Twitter – ie currently you are not home – you are telling would be robbers where your home is and that you are not home at present.

The goal of PleaseRobMe.com is, as the founders of the site state on their “why” page, to raise some awareness of the real dangers of such interaction between social media and physical location indicators can pose if exploited by bad people.
