I made this as a quick and dirty weekend project after spotting a friend post a picture of their house keys online.

I thought I'd try and raise awareness of how easily keys can be copied from photos. That combined with geocoded tweets is just asking for trouble.

It's not mobile friendly unfortunately.

Have you considered @replying to those who have posted their house keys on Twitter?
Yeah I did start it but due to the twitter account being brand new it got suspended. Need to warm it up when I get it back.
Point taken, although picking a lock is not much harder than making your own keys.
Well, unless you make keys like this: http://www.instructables.com/id/Key-copy/

Which is easier than filing down regular keys I suppose.

But using a service that does it for you is much easier than either.
