 |  I Twitter, therefore please rob me A group by the name of Forthehack has launched a website called Please Rob Me which serves to expose the security risk of location-aware online services such as Twitter and Foursquare. It has opted to do so by listing all the empty homes that are available to be robbed by publishing a live feed of those Foursquare players who automatically post location updates to Twitter. http://www.itpro.co.uk/620671/i-twit...-please-rob-me

| Frekking sweet; this is the same as people posting on Facebook when they are on holiday, and don't set any privacy setting, so world+dog knows there are not there; through foursquare it also adds your home address... WIN WIN
