Glad to hear that stuff can do such of thing. Bravo google

Information itself is not good nor bad, but rather how it is used. I cringe every time I see an article that blames this source of information or that source for how evil people use it. The fact of the matter is that even the best of us can misuse information from time to time.

For example, I know a gentleman who has gotten pretty high up inside an insurance company in their HR department. He learned that a vacancy in the underwriters division was soon to happen as one of the underwriters there had turned in their two week notice. He told his daughter to go down and apply for the position even though the news of the vacancy had not been made known to the general public. She did and she got the job.

He misused his knowledge of the vacancy to benefit his own family and it also may have been to the detriment of the company because someone with more experience may have been able to get that job and do it better than his daughter, but the company will never know that now. Now my friend, although he can be a prick sometimes about the money he makes, is not a bad person on the whole. He just made a bad choice with the information he had.

While I am glad to hear about this case, I will be happier still if the world communities learned from this and started trusting and better using the internet information that is out there. That, to me at least, would be something far far better to celebrate than the rescue of one child.

kinda makes you wonder about one thing though: with the GPS coordinates from her cell phone, they should have been able to find her anyway, right? I am still glad the street view was used to expedite the process; I would just hope that they could have found her anyway with the coordinates.

Glad to see that they were able to use Google and find the girl and also that she was found safe.

Great use of Google Street Map.

And this has always been an interesting and heavily debated issue: information is power, and if it's utilized in good / bad purposes only depends on those who use it.
