I've had discussions with my husband about the need to have some kind of discretion when it comes to announcing where he is, or where I am because of my safety, our kids safety. I wonder...do ALL PWTPs (people with Twitter Partners) have this discussion? When I asked an online friend if she Twittered, she responded "oh no...nothing that would compromise my personal safety". Moments like that and you rethink how much info you put out there. Hi Matt,

It's worse than that, if you use Plazes and that will show where you are, too (although of course that's not to say that someone isn't at home when you're not). It's a thorny issue, how to maintain the appropriate level of privacy whilst enabling all of the interesting serendipitous stuff that can happen through online social networking.
