    Exclamation Google StreetView hits Australia!

    Smile Australia, you're on Google's candid camera - BizTech - Technology

    Google today launches its controversial Street View mapping tool in Australia amid a backlash against the feature by privacy activists around the world.

    Street View, accessed from Google Maps, lets people explore the country at ground level for the first time with little more than a computer and an internet connection.

    So far both my current and new place are not on it - I'm like Dick Cheney - hidden from the world...

    "Privacy"? Are they activists going to demand we ban people from driving through streets because they see the exact same thing and hence invade privacy? Idiots.

    you might find a bit of anger if you drive through the streets taking photos of everything and posting them on the internet for everyone to see though.

    Maybe Heretic, but how is it any different to me driving there and actually looking at it?

    say, your old man visits brothels, and obviously doesnt want you to know about it, and he is photographed going into one by google streetview and its permanantly on display on the web.

    now while i dont really care, these are the things people are blowing up about. for you to actually look at it, you'd have to already know about where it is, and when it happens.
