Google Maps Street View
Google recently introduced a new feature into it's mapping service to allow users to obtain a street level view of cities. A dedicated team of bloggers worldwide is now putting together a collection of Street Level curiosities, including giant pumpkins, street criminals in action, sunbathers, hot babes (yay!) and compelling evidence that E.T. called home.
Just as Google Earth provoked concern that National Security could be compromised, Street View is prompting fears that people's privacy is being invaded. Is it only a matter of time before Google will be indexing our political views, sexual orientation and psychological profiles?
