| I saw this a few weeks ago and googled my house. It was neat to see it via satellite. |
|

|
| I spent a couple hours looking up where I live, where I work, where I used to live, etc. Its awesome! It looks like it only works in for urban areas in the US. Or is it because I am in the US that I can't see other parts of the world??

| No, you're absolutely right, Anne Marie. I too wasn't able to go from that site to any other countries. So I tried google.de but they don't even have that satellite feature. That's why the terrorists always drop their bombs on the USA, you deliver yourself on a silver plate.  At least I was able to locate the Monkey Bean, a coffee shop which happens to be the favourite hang-out of my friends in Denver, CO.

| Ahaa.. you like it
Yeah people who have been searching your phone numbers and other details now can find directions to your home and come to see you … heehee 
Good thing is that I learnt you can add it to your own site to show directions to your office or where ever its fitting to.
Another coolest feature is that googles Library search which is going to be there.
It seems they are working with Harvard, Stanford, the University of Michigan, the University of Oxford, and the New York Public Library to scan books from their collections and make them available via Google search .. cool ha..

| That will be very cool. I admit I didn't spend much time looking at the satellite photos. I was reading the message boards at my office, and I have to be careful what I look at because people will see me and I will get in trouble! I don't know why I care, I gave notice this week. 
It's been very easy to find people's houses using reverse phone number look-up for a while, that's why I use a cellphone number for all my business publications. I'm away from my house so much, and paranoid that someone will break in while I'm not at home and hurt my pets! |

| Stefan, check out the satellite picture of DC. The Capital Building and the White House are distorted ...as are some other buildings. I find it pretty funny.
There's been a lot of discussion about the implications and lack of privacy. And also I guess how terrorists could use this information against us... which is are good discussions. However, you could find this stuff on the internet for years!! Now its just easier and in a cooler interface.
I wish you could see other countries though...I think that would be MUCH cooler for me as I don't get to travel much!

| WOW! That's amazing, but it also scares me a bit! Feels like the stuff in "Enemy of the State", you know? Big brother...?

OTOH you can see area 51 quite clearly, even parts of it where not even the commander is allowed to go. So I heard.

GlobeXplorer and TerraServer have images from around the world. I was able to locate not only our suburb but even the complex we're dwelling in. Unfortunately the pics are from 99 and things have changed quite a lot since then. Our little coastal town has aproximately doubled in size in the last few years.
