Google Gets Some Street Cred

Posted at 9:38 AM, May 30, 2007 · 5 Comments

Google Maps Street View

Google Maps has just released a new feature: Street View. This lets you get really down ‘n dirty and actually check out pictures of a neighbourhood at street-level, as if you were walking around. It’s pretty cool - you can pan, zoom and even move in intervals of around 100 feet (or so).

The pics are also pretty recent, since on the fire escape of my building, there’s a dirty pink bucket which was placed there by my college kid neighbours. I think they use it to puke in, after their nightly drunken binges. They’re smarmy little brats who need a tight slap to put them in place. Of course, if I do it, I might be charged with assault, but if you’re in my area, feel free to drop by and kick them around a little.

See kids? The take-home lesson is this: When you talk like that, it means you’re getting old.

Check out Google Maps.
