Streetview - amazing and controversial

Google's Street view is amazing. If you haven't tried it, why not start at St Paul's (be patient - it takes a little while to download properly).

It is a very useful tool. A friend just asked if she could leave her bike outside the place we're meeting - a quick look and I can see a bike rack. Amazing!

But it is also a tool for the voyeur. Some people aren't too happy about the infringement on their right to privacy and are literally standing in the way of progress!
