who´s got the longest one - friends lists & other things i hate about social networks

Even if someone connected my real-world self to my Twitter/FB account I simply NEVER EVER post my home address online or even the area where I live. And even if, and that's a big if, I posted any of that stuff online what's to say that if I'm not home that someone else isn't there, or that I don't have a fancy security system or a vicious dog?

I agree. Must have been programmed by a bunch of single guys, since the logic seems to be: If I leave the house, the house is empty. That´s single logic.

Wouldn't it be easier to just stalk a rich people's house for a few days and then rob them when they knew they weren't home?

Where I don´t agree is YOU assuming YOUR particular view of the world to be the one most people adhere to. I think that history shows us that whatever way there is to take advantage of other people, it will be exploited. Whether it looks complicated to you or not, sooner or later someone will find it simple enough to try it.
