Google Street View. For better or for worse.

Google has just launched its all new Street View feature to Australia and already there has been much talk and controversy about this 'invasive' piece of technology. For those who still have not figured it out, if you visit http://maps.google.com.au/ and type in pretty much any address you want, you will see a street level photo of that location. An invasion of privacy? Or ground-breaking technology? What do you think of Google Map's new Street View feature? After spending an hour or so walking down a remote town in rural NSW from my desktop I now have to say I am a fan.

After all, what difference is it to having your address and telephone number listed in the phonebook? Unfortunately, there will always be those who use this technology for the wrong reasons.
