@ ladybanana - thanks for dropping by. Yes I think it's a great idea if used well as long as things like faces and number plates are not clear - actually I used it to see where my daughter lives as well as I havent visited her yet so I never thought about being able to do that in another country too.

@ katherine - thanks for stopping by - wow that's interesting - little bit scary if you get to see that much. Problems I foresee are in domestic violence cases where perhaps cars could be spotted at residences. Yes Big Brother Google is an almighty power now....

Yup, American here and sure enough my whole neighborhood is on there. The neighbors cars, my parents old van ~ I am both mortified and fascinated all at once. Really puts in perspective what a massive company google must be. And scary.

Its coming to London UK, and a lot of ppl are complaining about it, however I think it's a great idea.

Very useful as my daughter used it to show me the house of a friend she stayed in when she went to New York.

A coworker of mine was showing me the high technology of mapping the earth from up and yonder. He used his house as an example. He was showing and explaining the different details of his house, when I asked him whose car it was that was entering his driveway. He said, he didn't recognize it. I chuckled at that. He didn't think it was funny. Hehe.

Dear dear Lilly, this post CRACKED me up!!!! You are SO cleaver and funny. I love you!

I also agree with you. The first time I was shown Google mapping I freaked. This is WAAAAAY too much like BIG BROTHER is watching you. It's SO sci-fi that I can hardly believe it. Someone is sure to make a movie or doc about this as it has just sort of happened overnight and a lot of people don't yet know about it.

What is the next step? Government = Google? Or are we already there? The problem is that young people growing up with computers, cell phones, instant contact, etc. might now even think twice about it. But older generations I think will notice more. Maybe I'm wrong. But this seems scarily invasive, especially in terms of where it could lead.

A great post!! You are firing on all cylinders. I've missed being her and have been running way behind. I was so glad to see you on my blog and read your very thoughtful comment. You are wise as well as funny. Also I just love the interactions between you and your daughter on these posts. They are a riot! Hugs, Robin

Sarah - you are right I believe its an invasion of people's privacy wehn you home is up there for the world to see. I cannot see the point. yes the man was the gardener ha ha,hence the truck.

Jon - you irish I tell you - no Jon it would mean you would have to curtail your ways - good job you do not drink then..hopefully you wont get this in the UK.

Oh sh!! Does that mean when it comes to Ireland I wont be able to sunbathe in the nude any more ?
Although with the weather we've been having recently it would be more like torrential rain bathing.

Lilly, you have been on a roll for the past week, that cracked me up. George clooney at the bottom of your garden indeed.I think it is good to do this for businesses, tourist attractions and hotels but definitley not private residences. What if you were in a domestic violence situation and your car was spotted somewhere, or someone was having an affair or you had an abusive partner and they saw a man in your garden. Who was the man, did you know him?
