Google's new "Street View" feature, which allows users to click on maps in major cities and get real images of the street, has been causing a real ruckus this week, with people reporting strange and even scandalous images - such as a man leaving a strip joint and Stanford girls sunbathing - caught on the map's "street views." While my house doesn't show anything particularly creepy or invasive, one woman from Oakland, California shared her story of finding her cat on the map to the New York Times and even admitted she and her family feel like they are being "peeped on."
While the Street View feature currently only works around major cities like San Francisco, New York, Las Vegas, Miami and Denver, there are literally millions of people whose homes, cars, cats and even bodies could have been caught on camera. What do you think about this?

i just tried it. i tried to street view sugar publishing headquarters as that is the only major city place i am curious to look at.
1I've tried it but they didnt have an image yet for my city.. that sucks...
2Sounds fun...I'm going to do it now.
3I live too far out in the country. They don't even have the nearest major city to me on Street View.
4I tried, but Kansas City isn't on there
5Thats an odd question, since its not available in most cities.
6i have google earthed because its rather fun to go all over the world..but never even heard of this
7Yes we did it was fun.
8I added here the best Google Street View.
9I added here the best Google Street View.

11i need my privacy
12i'm gonna try this right now.
13I just tried it, it's kinda fun. I'm surprised they don't have one for LA yet, you could go celeb sighting from anywhere in the country!
14Cool, but I'd be creeped out if I was on one!
15I'm going to try it right now!
16I've Street Viewed someone else's residence (hehe) but they don't have it for where I live.
17they don't have my house in there.
18I wasn't able to find my house but i found an area near it
19Aw...I tried but my country isn't there
20I haven't tried it yet but I do like the idea. I'm sorry that people feel invaded. I suppose you shouldn't be doing anything outside your house that you don't want a complete stranger to see. =(
21I am amazed at the clarity of my cul-de-sac. It is street level, and based on the details. It is clearly fairly current, in the last 3 months at the very least.
