Want to know what your friends are doing?

One of my New Century Journalism students, Abby Selden sent me a link to Spokeo.com. Their You Tube video, a story from KABC in Los Angeles explains the service.

For the record, television stations need to do a better job of branding their products for a national and international audience. The call letters aren't enough when someone is watching on the Internet anywhere in the world. The World is Flat!

By the way, I tried it and was SHOCKED at how fast so much information was returned. Add Twitters ability to pinpoint where you are and the possibilities are beyond mind boggling and this isn't the tip of the iceberg.
