Last week Google launched its StreetView and last night I decided to spend some time on it. For starters...it is latest from Google where they have photographed the streets and neighborhood
and it comes along with Google Map. I was wondering how much money they have spent on gas taking photographs of each street...but again if Google can't then who can?
So instead of looking at the satellite view (of buildings and all) now you can make it more lively and realistic...as if you are on the street itself. It gives you 360 degree view. This is not real time but recorded sometime (Google wont disclose..but must be fresh as I did see the Spiderman-3 Billboard). I did stroll at Broadway last night looking at those huge billboards, cabs , and people moving around. It is indeed a great feeling. It is there for select cities yet.. like NY, SF, Denver etc. wired.com is publishing pictures from users who can send the weirdest snapshots from street view ..see below.

Dallas is not there yet.There are already talks whether Google has invaded privacy by doing so or not! So if you are in Dallas..be careful while you are out...you never know you may be caught in Google Camera!

I'm starting to love google street views. You can spy on so many weird stuff there. Here's one with a UFO on top of a chinatown restaurant. So funny!
