A new website entitled I Can Stalk U has arrived fresh on the heels of the website Please Rob Me. Both websites try and raise awareness about over sharing on the internet today. Please Rob Me focused on how people proactively share their location online. I Can Stalk U looks a a slightly more scaring form of over sharing, meta data in online photographs.
I Can Stalk U looks through Twitter for posts that include pictures. It then scans the meta data for the picture and tries to find the address where the picture was taken. If successful it posts the username and the location in the ICanStalkU feed.

The Blog Senseful Solutions has a good article on How Gmail Filter Email-Matching Works.
To quote them:
The default account you use (e.g. john.smith@gmail.com) will match all variations of your address. This includes dot notation, plus addressing, and using the googlemail.com domain.
Here’s a brief explanation of each:
- Using dot notation: You can enter as many non-consecutive dots in your email as you want. For example, if your email is john.smith@gmail.com, mail sent to j.o.h.n.s.mith@gmail.com will still arrive at your account.
- Using plus addressing: After your account name, you can enter the + sign and whatever text you want afterwards followed by the Gmail domain. For example, mail sent to john.smith+foo@gmail.com will arrive at john.smith@gmail.com.
- Using googlemail.com domain: Any mail sent to your @googlemail.com will arrive at your @gmail.com address. For example, mail sent to john.smith@googlemail.com will arrive at john.smith@gmail.com.
Any of the above can be combined (e.g. j.o.h.n.s.m.i.t.h+foo.bar@googlemail.com will still go to john.smith@gmail.com).
