My sister sent me this...

Google has implemented a new feature which enables you to type a telephone number into the search bar and hit enter. You will be given the person's name and address, PLUS a map to the person's address. Hit Map at the end of the address for the map. It's a nationwide reverse telephone book.

Note that you can have your phone number removed or blocked. If you try some random numbers you should find that it comes up along with the mapquest and directions straight to the house.

In order to test whether your phone number is mapped, go to Google at
http://www.google.com/. Type your phone number in the search bar (555-555-5555) and hit enter. If you want to BLOCK google from divulging your private information, simply click on your telephone number and then click on the removal form. Removal takes 48-hours.

Check your own number and although this may not apply to you if you have an unlisted number or cell phone as primary contact, but you may know someone who needs to know this.
