ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Discussion over at Lockergnome about Google’s ability to locate people when you type in their telephone number.

I’ll be at ITEC most of the day, so posting will be light. Also, updates are on hold while YACCS works out a problem with their export engine, although I might move on to some other back end things tonight. At least Hossein was nice enough to email me back and let me know there was a problem. 🙂
