Замечательную услугу начала предлагать одна британская компания:

Security firm will update your Facebook status while you're on holiday - Telegraph: "Not so long ago security firms were urging holidaymakers to buy a timer switch for their home’s lighting: it was claimed burglars would think people were in if they saw a lamp on in the evening.

Now a British firm is offering a new, equivalent service for the Facebook generation. Chelmsford-based Precreate Solutions claims a number of its clients had announced holiday plans on Facebook or Twitter and then had their properties broken into. For a small fee, the firm will now also run “virtual updates” while clients are away.

Company director Gary Jackson claimed that “Putting up a Facebook posting of photographs on a beach to 300-400 ‘friends’ is like leaving an advert on your door to a burglar telling him when you will be out.” The service will use pre-approved messages, updates and tweets, and then schedule them while the client is away."

То есть едете вы в отпуск, а специальная компания пишет за вас в твиттер или Facebook, как вы продолжаете ходить на работу и как приятно сидеть вечером в любимом кресле. Правда, не исключено, что ваши друзья свихнутся, пытаясь понять, где же вы на самом деле находитесь, но безопасность "своей крепости" того однозначно стоит.
