Google continues to impress. Now you can view street level images. Its only available in New York and San Francisco so far, but it is pretty amazing. Especially the images for San Francisco. I personally think it is pretty cool, but you can imagine the privacy issue here. The images are not live, but the photos include shots of whomever happened to be on the street. Imagine you are a politician who just happened to be exiting a disreputable location. Take a look for yourself. This link is of the street our offices are on. I spent my time examining the parked cars to see if mine was there.
