Well gentle readers it seems that our friendly neighborhood spider-crawler is crossing the line of decency.

There is a new feature that allows you to enter a phone number into the search bar, and if your number is listed google will return a yahoo! and mapquest map straight to your doorstep.

Here is an example: Search for 859-296-4400 this is a business by the way, so I feel no remorse for linking them here.   You will notice that the first entry has a phone icon next to it, that is the new feature.

To find out if you are affected, just hop on over and type your phone number in, using the following formatting pattern: 555-555-5555.  This has many legal ramifications, the least of which being the protection of minors from pedophiles that they meet on line.  With todays technology you could easily discover the phone number of someone you are chatting with through AOL, then feed that into google and BAM! you have thier home address.

All is not lost though, if you find that you are listed and would like to take yourself out of circulation you can click the phone icon that appears next to the search result and opt out, or you can follow this link.
