Snag-It + Google Street View=This Post

Google is bringing a new technology to their maps; they call it "Street View". Well, I used a piece of software(Snag-It) to capture pictures from Google Maps with the "Street View" layer activated.

Here's a coal train

A street in Chicago at the loop

Now, this is kinda cool but kinda creepy as well...check it, you house could be on Google Maps soon...Anyway, since I didn't need any talent to make this work your comments will be interesting... ("at the loop" is mislabeled, sorry guys...Oh I like the changes to the site...cool...peace...

    Google street view is nice, but has been in the news where someones house was on google, and now they are being sued. Go figure...

    yahoo's map views are about 5 years old at least.  they have views of houses and buildings that haven't been there for years, and don't have views of buildings built in the last several years.  so its not as scarey as i originally thought.
