Google Street
I have to say that this is rather damn cool. Maybe it is old, but this is very slick
Google’s new Street View allows you to walk around the map with pictures to help you familiarise yourself with the surroundings. Drag the little yellow man around and click on him to see the picture of where you are. You can then pan around ‘walk’ down the street in the picture.
When Mel Carson presented at SEOdays he spoke of this sort of technology being used as part of the new MSN. Seems they missed out.
