Title: Google Street View
Post by: Iggy on Sat, 2009-03-21, 16:13:50
I've just found the google street view functionality (It's probably been around for ages  ::))

My house is on it and you can see through the window  :o

Really not sure how I feel about that.

It appeared during the week, I've had a quick play but as I don't live near any coverage it's of limited use so far.

Tell us where you live, however, and we'll have a look at your wallpaper  ;D

Yep, heard about it too.
Though Vianen is apparently too small be seen.  ::)

In other words: Not visible, yet.

Not impressed with this street view.

Short skirts found so far: 0
Plunging necklines found so far: 0

What are we actually supposed to use it for? ;)

Maybe you're living in the wrong side of the world.  ;D

Perhaps you should also watch our quaint sporting event: each squad of pituitarily-enhanced males brings along with them a group of females known as "cheerleaders" who are (possibly by law) required to wear short skirts and jump about with enthusiasm.

Ah indeed.

I have seen some NFL on a 3D television and the cheerleaders are something else. In fact you need to duck when they do high kicks.  ;D

I had a look at this, It's quite cool.  Although the latest version of Google Earth is excellent!   *horns*

I've realised a couple of weeks ago that Google Street View is incorporated into the new version of Google Earth!
How cool is that!? 8)

Yep, everything in Digital land is tied together with tiny, untraceable threads.  :D
