Street View Launches in Australia
Well we are an “Aussie” podcast and blog so it only seems appropriate that we mention it. Plus I found the promo video which is actually pretty good.
The video didn’t tell me specifically anything I did not know already but it was cool to see Australian landmarks and an Aussie voice regarding the service. It would have had a high puke factor if it was otherwise. The other thing that I liked about the video is that that for say; my Mum the instructions were very clear and could help her understand and start using the service. I will do a test with my Mum and let you know how that pans out.
I think the email from Herne the stalker was referring to the proximity of street view to my place. Sure enough I was right (This is close to where we live). Now I am worried that The Herne is after me.
So I am expecting the usual privacy issues to come up here in Australia, no doubt A Current Affair is right this minute screening some conspiracy theory about some rogue criminal.
Tips and Tricks for new Aussie users of Google Street View.

That’s right, Dave… Expect me to show up on your doorstep any day now! I’ll bring a sleeping bag…
I was actually looking to see how much of Aus they had already imaged and I was surprised to see that Google has been quite busy down there. I was also looking to see if I could see the various landmarks that Aus is famous for and such, like Cait! But I didn’t see her.
Although, I could’ve sworn there was a woman in one car who was showing me part of her hand, perhaps a finger…
You can sleep in the extension.
I was actually surprised that they had done any where near us!
Sleep in the 4th bedroom? It doesn’t have a roof!
Australia kinda scares me sometimes…there are far too many things with big teeth and deadly poisons down there for me.
The roof arrived today, it is in the front yard. There is only a rogue echidna out there and they eat ants.
I had a look yesterday and seems they haven’t done my street though that is hardly surprising. Not really missing too much.
Herne you are a wuss
