Please Rob Me

Today, we found out about a new website called Please Rob Me. It is a website that is just like a post on Twitter that uses information from another website called Foursquare. The founders are using this website to show people that when they make a post about leaving home, a robber can easily find the house and steal from you. The founders say that it is dangerous to post where you are. Anyone can get information off of Please Rob Me. The founders of the site hope that people will become more aware of how much of a risk people are putting themselves into when they post where they are and maybe even get some people to only post things that won't give that kind of information away. I have never told anyone where I was because I don't have an account on any social network site.
