“Please Rob Me”: Now the World Know You’re not at Home

Technology is now quickly advanced and mad. This week "Please Rob Me",a website that can tells the world when you are not at home has launched. Of course the social networking with 15000 followers, are criticized because it can help the housebreaker. This site enable to show the users location online.
The Dutch website channels information from other networking sites like Twitter into one place, listing 'all those empty homes out there' and providing a running total of 'new opportunities'.
The information it provides on people's movements is searchable by city or by their Twitter username.
Foursquare is a Twitter-type application which turns city maps into game boards, helps friends meet up, and awards 'prizes' to the most active of its 150,000 followers.
They 'check in' on their mobile phone to record their position on a map, indicating where they are and more importantly, where they aren't. It's called geolocation technology.
Those details are fed to Twitter, and can be searched by anyone in the world. A search for '4sq -@foursquare london' on Twitter reveals a stream of information posted by Londoners who have left their houses - creating a potential burglars' wish-list.
Criminals will monitor their movements, and with a little extra investigation, pin down their exact address, and simply wait for the tweet that says 'nobody's home'.
Sometime users 'check in' giving the exact address of a friend's home that makes life even easier for the criminal. Of course it will give bigger chance for criminal to rob our house. But the founders deny that the site will help the robber, but oppositely it will help users to avoid.
So, are excited to follow? And make you spied?
