Google is really pushing it this time...

Google released a very cool futuristic tool called StreetView to their already cool maps.google.com service. But, this one makes people a little uneasy.

It basically shows pictures of the neighborhood to anyone who looks it up. It's like you are standing in the street looking around rather than seeing a satellite view from miles above.

This poor fellow can be found walking to an adult bookstore.


Another can be seen leaving a strip club and this one shows a license plate.

I'm not sure how I feel about this, but I expect that the usual voices will start their usual cries of privacy concerns; this time, they may have a point.

If this whole thing makes you uncomfortable, don't blame Google, Microsoft started it.

Let me know what you think.
