This was just on the news in my state, Google added a new feature. Now you can view the map as Street View, here's a piece of where I live (That's four blocks away from where I live actually).

Shit like this scares me...

Discuss.

We have something like this, but it doesn't come close to where I live

I hope they're watching me. I'm going to be put off if they aren't...

They basically took a video camera and video taped while driving. OMG THIS IS REALLY HARD.

I would love to get paid to do nothing but drive around with a videocamera......I supposed I could get a van and go cruising.

Here's the article that the news gave on T.V. in New York if anyone's interested. That spot in the corner makes some great fried chicken.

When I first read the title I was like "No, I don't think you're watching me, Googie."

Then I saw the google map and yeah. Meh, people are being watched through hundreds of cameras all the time now, one more won't hurt.

They get street photos in some places, but they haven't even taken new satellite pictures where I live in the last 4 years.. What the hell?

BooUrns, why have you circled my house!

...Wait, there are houses and forests missing from that picture. Never mind, not my house. (Oddly similar, though.)

On a more serious note, there is a blue plastic swimming pool in my front lawn in the picture of my house. With that information I have determined that the picture was taken during summer.

And no street view where I live.

	This is disturbingly awesome. And I thought screwing around in Google Earth was cool... Hopefully, there'll be a street view somewhere near my house, in this fairly small/large city. ____________________ kimi gakure ta yuuki wa OKKUSENMAN OKKUSENMAN sugi sarishi kisetsu wa DORAMATIKKU

This is a little disturbing. I guess still images is better than the full 3D view that Microsoft is undertaking.

Well, she's hardly the only topless women found on google maps from what I heard...

Most maps google have of Sweden is of a rather varied quality, but they have started adding some textured 3D models in Stockholm.

If Google watches me, I will put up an advertisement to my website on the side of my house.

Free advertising! Mwa ha ha ha.

How old are their satellite images usually? I've checked out my university on there, and the north student housing is shown as being under construction (it was built in 2003). The courtyard area was completely redone and a new building was added during my first year there, so the satellite images look totally different to me.
