My phone company is giving my mailing address out, nothing is sacred any more. If you have the persons name and town they live in you can get directions to their door, Seems like they are jeopardizing peoples safety and privacy for monetary gain

I have a friend who uses Google earth and you can actually view your neighbors home and their address.

There's probably things about us that we have no idea what's on the internet.

Look at all the junk mail we get and all the phone calls we get.

I think you'll find google street scene carries a lot more detail than google earth.

360 degree views, look up or down and zoom right in for every detail about your home.


uh oh

bodleing: Streetscene is really good, especially as most of the world is now covered. Just go to google maps, move the little yellow man icon to anywhere on the map and you'll get real pics of the location. You can then in effect walk down the road and rotate to view all around. If you view your house, you can even use it to check on the condition of your roof tiles.
Or maybe go for a stroll down the back streets of Tokyo or some similar far flung place.


Wow... exercise via the net? tongue

I'm afraid to look at the roof...I can't afford repairs. doh

I'm amazed...I use it quite a lot. I can view real photos of a place before I go, it's a really good tool, much better than google earth.thumbs up
