the digital age robber

did anybody catch this article in TOI? freaky! apparently, robbers are now tracking you on twitter to find out when you go on a vacation or weekend away, so they can come take your stuff away! this happens because we allow strangers all too easily to track us on social networking websites, especially twitter. the survey sent out a 100 test friend requests on facebook and twitter, and 13% were accepted on facebook and 93% on twitter! and it's especially the younger users who give away such information, such as children or teenagers in your household. my god, it really gives you to think before you tweet away about your dream vacation!
