Everyone should be aware of this!
Google.com  has implemented a new feature wherein you can type
someone's
telephone number into the search bar and hit enter and then
you will be given a map to their house.  

Note that you can have your phone number removed or blocked.

Before forwarding this, I tested it by typing my telephone number in
google.com.   My address came up,  and when I clicked on the MapQuest
link, it actually mapped out where I live.  Quite scary. 

Please look up your own number. 
Read below for details.

Think about it--if a child, ANYONE gives out his/her phone number,
someone can actually now look it up to find out where he/she lives.
The
safety issues are obvious, and alarming. 
In order to test whether your phone number is mapped, go to:
http://www.google.com/
Type your phone number in the search bar (i.e.555-555-1212) and hit
enter. 
If you want to BLOCK Google from divulging your private information,
simply click on phonebook results link above your phone number and
scroll down.   I removed my name, but it takes 48-hours.

If you are unlisted in the phone book, you might not be in there, but
it is a good idea just to check. If your number does come up if you hit
map, it will show you a direct map to your house.
