Google Debuts Street View and Mapplets

Posted by kdawson on from the you-can-see-faces dept.

Today at the O'Reilly Where 2.0 Conference Google unveiled two new map features. An O'Reilly blogger describes Street View, which uses 360-degree street-level video from Immersive Media to enable neighborhood walk-throughs in (for now) a few selected areas. The other new feature is Mapplets, which let you embed Google Maps mashups in any Web page. Much more coverage is linked from TechMeme.

    The fact that your comment elicits a Score: 5, Interesting is a reminder to me why I stopped reading this site for a while. Now I remember. It's because of douchbags like you.

    I can read more "Interesting" posts than yours on Myspace.
