Privacy? In your dreams!

Here's something I wasn't aware of, although I should have been, because I've used all the compnonent parts before.

Go to Google and type in your phone number, with area code using the format xxx-xxx-xxxx.

If your phone number is listed, up will pop your name, address, and two choices for maps to your location.

You can opt out by selecting the telephone icon next to your name. Scroll down and you'll find the opt out process.

Thanks! Mine was in there. I used the "remove" feature. We'll see if it works.

Huh? Why?

How odd. Not only did it come up with the information you said it would, it also provided a classified ad listing I posted on my MG website a long time ago. heh heh... I guess that was a product of the actual Google search, but still somewhat unexpected.
