New Google Feature....

Did you know that you can now simply type a telephone number into the Google search box and receive back information regarding that telephone number? Besides the name and address, a link is also provided to a map of the physical location.

Now I know, a lot of folks will feel like that an ability for a total stranger to perform such a search is an invasion of privacy and that Google has no right to provide such information - yet, there are at least a half a dozen Web sites that have provided "reverse look-up" on the Internet for the past decade.

The only way to provide a high degree of anonymity when it comes to telephone numbers is to make sure you've got an unlisted number and that my friends is no absolute guarantee.
