Why? I have used it and I think it's a great idea if you need to go somewhere and want to see how it looks before going there. I have no problem with the street view.

Absolutely not. It's what anyone else could see on any given day.

I will say, however, you should have the right to say "please remove my home from the database."

Same here. I think it would be really cool if my house was shown.

Google recently drove through my hometown of Kansas City. It's great being able to virtually drive down roads and see what has changed.

Doesn't bother me at all. People drive by my home every day.

I don't see it as an invasion of my privacy, but I'm glad everything was so nice when they took the picture. Also, I'm glad she took it after I went into the laundry room in my nightgown.

I like the idea. I think its very cool to have my house on satellite (?) close up.

Not on satellite. Check the things (why are they silver Canon Rebels?) and you'll see that they're spherical panoramas.

But it is cool. :D

I live in a small, small town; I doubt they will get around to doing the street view here for years, if ever LOL.

Cool. I have doubts this will ever be extended to the UK.

I love this feature, like Senor said it's cool going back to places you once grew up and seeing what all has changed.
