Important Information about Google StreetView
Stunning news from Google! StreetView comes to Halifax....
There is also a stunning Globe and Mail article on Google StreetView comming to Halifax.
Google has announced that during the next few weeks, Google employees will be in our city taking comprehensive photos of streets and public spaces. Don't be surprised if you suddenly notice you are being followed by a car with a camera mast on the roof. Smile, you're on Google!
This represents the biggest change in the way we use the internet in 15 years.
This is particularily important because all of the physical world around us will now be viewable online. Your license plates, people, residential houses including civic numbers and signage, posters in windows and storefronts, will all be visible using Google Earth, although there is no indication of when they will roll out the information.
To quote from the article:
I strongly suggest that all C@P employees and volunteers read this article and become thoroughly familiar with Google Earth, and in particular, Google Street View.

To quote from the article:
'Many a Web page is now dedicated to finding gems such as accidentally documented street fights, crimes in progress and, of course, people walking in or out of adult stores.'
I strongly suggest that all C@P employees and volunteers read this article and become thoroughly familiar with Google Earth, and in particular, Google Street View.
