A person tried an experiment about people tweeting about
where they are in one of the most populated area of Tokyo.
FIND THEM.
1. he was able to find them
2. the reaction of the persons were interesting.
Both persons were shocked that the unknown guy suddenly
approached and called them by Twitter name, told what
they had just ate at lunch. Both said that they would
change their icons, stop tweeting with private infor-
mation, or even stop Twitter itself.

It is just an experiment, but shows also that some people
are not conscious at all about the possible consequences of
their actions.
