seen Google maps lately?

This is a bit freaky really. If you type in your own address, and provided you street shows up on the map with a blue outline, you can actually view a photo of your house.

For my example here I decided to show the lovely Cocoon in downtown Launceston (click on the photo for a better view).

I can see it's benefits though, Loobylu is planning a trip to Japan and she's checking out places before she goes!

  1. I can't decide if it's a good thing or a bad thing. It seems a potential invasion of privacy but then again there are times when it will prove to be useful.

    Nice to see Coocoon though and I could post pix of my favourite fabric shops.

    Cheers,
    Ann.
