I’m surprised no enterprising criminal has used this type of information to burgle people’s houses. Granted, there’s an element of connecting the twitter account to the house, but I’d be more worried about that than stalkers, personally. ---

Granted, there’s an element of connecting the twitter account to the house, but I’d be more worried about that than stalkers, personally. I think there have been crimes connected to Twitter in the past. Its easy to steal someone’s identity even of Facebook if they don’t have a Myspace, then you’ve got plenty of info on everyone in that friend group. ---

OK, let’s start again. You can view 20 tweets at a time. If you post often enough, the effort required to catalog your tweets, load a new set of 20 and repeat would be enough discouragement for all but the most lame stalkers. ---

> [@Jump](#): > > I was curious about how much a complete stranger could compile about me based solely on my Twitter feed, so i thought of putting it out there on a message board, just asking some individual who was very thorough (and bored enough to actually want to sift through my 2500 tweets). to compile a sort of report of everything they knew about who I am and what I do. I am willing to help you in your social project. How much do you pay per hour? 🙂 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/would-you-do-this-inviting-a-twitter-stalker/528258.md?page=1)
