If you’re leaving your home for the weekend and are thinking about tweeting it you might want to reconsider that it is not only your friends who are savvy on your unprotected castle. There is a website out there, PleaseRobMe.com, that greets visitors with the following: “listing all those empty homes out there.”

It is a burglar’s dream come true as all the hard research that goes into finding a place to rob is done by the home owner. In case you ever wonder how much can be known about you via tweet updates, this website is something to consider. The equation for a potential thief is as simple as adding your tweet about leaving home, your name attached to your post, and a google earth search of your front door. The site was created to make a point said the founder, to get people thinking about over sharing on public social networking sites. Don’t forget that thieves follow Twitter too.
