Not sure if this has been discussed on this list yet but I thought the privacy issues are interesting/alarming (see below).

Google has implemented a new feature wherein you can
type someone's telephone number into the search bar
and hit enter and then you will be given a map to
their house.

Mapquest will actually put a star
on your house on your street. In order to test whether
your phone number is mapped, go to:
www.google.com and type your phone number in the
search bar and hit enter.

NOTE: If your phone number is not publicly listed, you
should be fine.

 If you want to BLOCK Google from divulging your
 private information, simply click on the telephone
icon next to your phone number.You will see a link
where you a! re allowed to REMOVE yourself.
