They're apparently going to be talking to someone from Google on PM (BBC Radio 4) shortly.

But making the little yellow man walk around is fun, nintendo should make it into a game, coz it's as involving as Animal Crossing.

Mad comments too. I find it hard to believe that some people actually think this is a livefeed.

outside the office I work in in Clerkenwell, you can see a girl from my office sat on the front steps crying, while another dude from the office consoles her
it's on the east end of Aylesbury St, Islington

found it, jeepers.
also randomly found a view of a guy working underneath his car, the odd thing about it was that it seemed to be in some kind of quiet cul de sac neighbourhood. something eerie about the google van driving around somewhere so secluded.

i take it you two would be ok with a recognisable image of yourself crying on the street was on this, then?
― lex pretend, Tuesday, 24 March 2009 15:35 (fifteen years ago) link
what if you were so upset by the possibility of your privacy being invaded that you ran out onto the street to cry and then the google van took a picture of you

I love viewing decrepit small towns in rural southern US. Behold, Hughes Arkansas, which I drove through once to get to the King Biscuit Blues Festival in Helena.

Do Google image vans not go south of the river or something? How come Electric Avenue hasn't been done when my little street out in Zone 3 has?
― I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE UP TO (Colonel Poo), Tuesday, 24 March 2009 16:22 (fifteen years ago) link
Google Street View omits roads not passable by traffic. The market on Electric Avenue prevents traffic access. Same with Ridley Road in Dalston, which is also not covered.
― dubmill, Tuesday, 24 March 2009 16:29 (fifteen years ago) link
they don't seem to have done the roads where my office is, just off Old St/City Rd
― Hard House SugBanton (blueski), Tuesday, 24 March 2009 16:36 (fifteen years ago) link
There's other roads around Brixton you can't go down on Street View that are traffic accessible, I reckon they're just shirking.

I just looked round the streets of the little beach village in southern NSW that we spent all our childhood summers in... havent been back there in like 10 or 15 years. Boy did I feel homesick, and it's not even home!
