Headline: A 911 Dispatcher Used Facebook To Find A Badly Injured Hiker In California (after 911 call is cut short)

I'm glad this gentleman got help. I wish him well. And the 911 people certainly went the distance.

But this story also bugs me in a lot of ways. (So does Facebook, so there's an obvious bias. Bear with me.)

First, why would anyone post such a level of detail in a public forum? "Hi, I'll be away all day, feel free to burglarize my house."

Second, Facebook is effectively a paywall (and you are the tasty bacon being bought and sold). If you're not on Facebook, you can't see this stuff (not easily, anyway). Heaven forbid that someone mistake this for leaving word with a responsible person (which he may have done, we don't know).

Enough of my ranting. What do you think?
