I figured I should put this out there for all members to see and possibly pass it along. One of my family members was the one who showed this too me.

This link is for a "phone book". It gathers any and all information put out on the internet by you and gathers it in one place for people to search for. Usually I like things like this because I think they're interesting and helpful but I think this has taken things a step or two too far. It shows your address, phone number, income, any pictures you've posted and more. Now I realize a lot of that is available to anyone willing to look (the TDC thread is proof) but I think this website putting it all in one place makes it a little too easy for someone with bad intentions.
You can delete your information by finding yourself, copying the URL and clicking the privacy button at the very bottom. Make sure to check for your email and phone number too.
I know some people might not care but I figured I'd post it for the people who do.
