    It's insaneee....

    lol go to http://google.com and click on google maps.

    then type in one of the cities, they only have a certain number of cities, i'm not sure what they are. i know bostons on there. once you find a city that has it, click on the street view tab. zoom in on one of the streets and a certain part of the street. they got 360 degree angles of tons and tons of streets in that city. this might be old news but this is for those who haven't seen it.

    Yeah. I once search for my home here in DR, it's pretty cool and scary at the same time.

    A comedian on Jon Stewart's show was joking about this last summer and the privacy issues. He zoomed in more and more and they showed a pic of some guy going to the bathroom on the side of the road.

    Then he went on with another joke about going on Google and clicking "I'm Feeling Violated."

    A gag with school kids now is to make filthy messages on the roofs of schools or in the football field and watch it show up on Google Earth.
