WeKnowYourHouse a website raises panic in info surfers community, especially for twitter followers. It so happens that many people unwittingly transmit every time they send a tweet. With this small clue the website manages to match the home address, even providing a Google Street View image of their home in some cases. Security associations ring alarm bells over the privacy issues being eroded. Security experts have termed that such divulging details is 'scary.'
However the creators of the website said they are providing a service by alerting users to the security risk of Twitter, as per a report in The Daily Mail. They went further to say that it was just an experiment and also said that similar privacy issues exist with other services such as FourSquare and Google's Latitude.
The relief is that as per the report the site said that it deletes user's data after an hour, and also offers user an option to opt out of the site. Some optimists believe that infact the website could be help users by drawing attention to the location information. Whether for good or bad depends at which side of the coin we look at and we leave it to your right senses to assess the issue. But incase the next time you feel you are lured by a scammie, then this is your best alternative to know their details, I suppose. (With inputs from internet-AW AarKay)
