Google Street View
If you haven’t yet heard about Google’s new Street View feature, where have you been? Here’s the view from Hyde and Lombard in SF.
Here’s an article on how they are accomplishing this: http://www.boingboing.net/2007/05/31/google_maps_zoom_her.html
Update: Google Streets has certain brought out the Orwellian/Huxleyan conspiracy theorists. But maybe we actually have something to worry about. I decided to follow that little red car from my Lombard Street link above and found that the car’s license plate is easily viewable. Is a line being crossed? Are we moving into a world where “as long as you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear?”
