Scary FYI

Google has now integrated it's reverse phone # search with Mapquest. Handy right? Not if you have kids. If your child gives out their phone number, anyone can type it in and not only get your address, but also a map with directions to your house.

Luckily, you can get your number removed. Go type your phone number (555-555-5555) in the search bar and see if your address pops up (it shouldn't for cell phones.) If it does, click on it and then click "Request to have your name removed from this list". You fill out a form and it takes a few days to take effect. (Mom, I already did yours.)

Sometimes this information age is a little scary.
