    Twitter location-sharing is on; be careful how you tweet

    After fits-and-starts of being on, then off, Twitter location-sharing is on. Now, you include location information in a tweet. All you have to do, ***uming you have a Twitter account, is go to "settings", scroll down, and click on "Add a location to your tweets."

    While this feature is great and welcome to all who want to be found, it can be dangerous for those who may be away from home. Someone with an awful heart can essentially "cyber case" a person using Twitter to determine when to try and break in to their home. Or worse.

    As the Twitter blog explains, the location-sharing feature is great to inform people of where something's occurring, but the problem is the tweeter has to be in the area where that something's happening.

    While I initially was excited about this new Twitter feature, it has the perfect distinction of being a tool that can be used for better or worse.
