Stalking is fun!

Has everyone tried the new google maps streetview yet? (jut type an address into googlemaps and see if it shows up as an option) Everyone else seems to be using it to look at their own homes, but I also used it to look up all the people I know who houses I haven't seen. The only who showed up was [livejournal.com profile] edible_hat. Nice digs, man(*) :)

It's bizarre that they have all the places I've looked up in Perth, but not my friend in Canberra. (EDIT: they do have [livejournal.com profile] lilysea, but that's less exciting since I still think of her as a Perth person. No offense to [livejournal.com profile] lilysea, it was still pretty cool :))

(*)Except now that I think about it, that's your old address, you and [livejournal.com profile] drucilla_death have moved out as I recall. Darnit.

Have also been looking at the google moon stuff, they've street viewed some bits of the apollo missions.

My house was taken last year, my neighbour who moved then is standing in my driveway.

I'm torn between;

- wow, so impressed at the detail online!! and
- who actually wants this much detail? Trolls upgrading to stalkers? Drunks in cabs trying to find the party via their mobiles?

*Thinks* I just can't imagine how google recoups the cost of all that picture taking.

Yeah, we moved in December/January last year. (got the keys just before Christmas, moved our stuff in 3 weeks later).

But that's my car in front of the address you looked up. It's also across the road from here (I think that one was when we went to the open inspection), in the driveway at my sister's place and in the employee parking area at work.

I swear Google is stalking my car.
