Today the long awaited Google street view was launched in the UK and it seems that it is already causing quite a stir. Concerns over privacy have long been in the media however i think the new service is excellent and some of the compromising pictures that are turning up will keep me entertained for hours. For example the man caught coming out a sex shop below.

It will certainly be interesting to see how they develop the service and to whether they will integrate it anyway with Latitude. Google’s move toward mobile these days couldn’t be any more apparent.

Companies are already finding interesting ways to use the new service. Find A Property.com is my personal favourite.

    Ooooh, I just realised that you can link directly through to the street view. A front door view should be standard on all Contact pages!
