OT - Google Maps

[sps_addict]

So what do you guys think about the google maps street view? Brings up privacy concerns, but still pretty neat at the same time. We can actually see what the fish stores look like and where some may be hidden.

Here is a funny video I came across that kind of makes it feel fairly invasive.

Try putting your telephone number into google. Then click the google map button...

Then remove your phone number from google.

Google has a large number of peoples phone numbers. Putting a number into google will pop up the name and address with a map link to get a sweet picture of the persons house.

I've lived in the same house with the same phone number since 1982 and the phone number was always unlisted.

They do have pictures of the front of the house but anybody could see the same thing when they drive by. Glad I mowed the lawn that month. :lol:

I have used it to find out where people are making hang up calls from.
