In some circumstances, this is an advantage- a knowledgeable and careful user can edit out information (like the location) that is best kept secret.

The biggest problem with the witness systems are their perceived credibility or lack thereof. This system also has a searchable database of records and options to make records public or private, and to create a shortened URL via the bit.ly service API.

Users may choose to make their records 'public' or 'private' at the time of creation, public records can be found by anyone if the database is working or they use logic to work out the url of the record, private records are appended with a random number string and not stored in the database making it nigh impossible to find if you are not the creator or you lose the url.
