Google Street View

[Killroy]

I am sure a lot of you have already heard about this, or have already checked it out, but if not, Google has released their Street View (http://maps.google.com/help/maps/streetview/index.html). It works great. To actually be able to pan around at any street location or actually "walk" it is pretty amazing.

I was going to post some interesting views, but another site has been created for that already.

Check out http://streetviewr.com/. People submit locations to images captured such as landmarks (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=googleplex&sll=37.448697,-120.948486&sspn=2.94791,5.141602&ie=UTF8&t=k&om=1&layer=c&cbll=37.792397,-122.483502&cbp=1,10.8303646566017,0.457635118684178,3&gl=us&ll=37.805851,-122.474127&spn=0.042994,0.09407&z=14), crimes in progress, random things like dogs fighting (http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&om=0&layer=c&cbll=37.873086,-122.274857&cbp=1,337.52239411676,0.581847655795715,3&ll=37.88051,-122.27294&spn=0.014531,0.038924&z=15) or even Robin William's house (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=el+camino+del+mar+and+sea+cliff+ave&sll=37.791524,-122.489491&sspn=0.007664,0.014999&ie=UTF8&ll=37.789557,-122.489598&spn=0.003832,0.007499&t=h&z=17&om=0&layer=c&cbll=37.787601,-122.489717&cbp=1,405,0.505745566967455,0).

When I first discovered this feature I flipped out :)
I found someone on my corner carrying art supplies and thought to myself, oh shit. It's all over now.

Especially since a couple weeks prior I had said something along the lines of, God forbid this Google satilite ever allows the everyman to see actual "people" on the street.

It's awfully fun though.


I can't seem to spell satilite....edited as I first typed satalittle lol :)

I'll be honest. This shit freaks me out. I feel the need to change my behavior because some satellite might snap a picture of me doing something...uncool. :cool:
