Following Twitter Suspension, WeKnowYourHouse Returns, Continues To Post Twitter Users Addresses, Home Photos

WeKnowYourHouse-logoWait, I've seen this one before, back when it was called Please Rob Me and based on Foursquare. The folks (folk?) behind the latest "social networking privacy experiment" called We Know Your House have just brought their website back online, following a swift takedown of their Twitter account after media reports disclosed what they were up to. In case you missed it: We Know Your House is an attempt to raise awareness about the information people casually, and unknowingly, reveal when posting to social networks. In this case, We Know Your House shows the tweets from people posting that they're at home and then links those tweets to an actual street address, as provided by Twitter's geolocation data.
