Google Street View
I’m not sure weather to be concerned about the privacy issues that Google’s Street view brings about or to embrace it with open arms. I have to say it is pretty awesome that you can now pretty much view any street in the UK for free. Stuff that is free is always awesome. I can view my work place online now, my home, my old home, my other home and pretty much anything else, I’ve even found my car (twice). I have to say it is pretty cool and quite useful I suspect, I can’t imagine people actually using this with to rob your house, I can’t see how it would benefit, what stops them from going to your street and checking it out in person.
It’s a pretty cool tool. I can remember using it when I first heard I had an interview in Birmingham, about a year ago, and using to find out how to walk to the office and finding out that Google didn’t drive down the street the office was on, annoying! It was pretty useful though using it to view the City and areas that I thought about moving too, saves me driving there and checking it out myself.
All in all I think its pretty awesome!
