New Google Maps 'Street View' Causes Ruckus
The new Google Maps Street View
feature, which allows users to click on maps in major cities and get
real images of the street, is causing a real ruckus on the web. In
order to make the map work, Google had to send out a van with a bunch
of 360-cameras to get street level images. Turns out, not all the
images they picked up are the kind people want broadcast throughout the
universe. Captured pictures of an old man jaywalking, a smiling man
walking out of a strip club and two fellas walking into a cannabis club
have made their mark in San Francisco, while two college gals
sunbathing at Stanford University are making their mark on "oh there's
a girl nearly naked" scene. And don't even get me started on the New
York image (pictured at right) of what looks to be ET touching down in New York. Turns out, the view from the street might be more exciting than the view from the top afterall.
