Talking Google Streets

Has anyone tried Google Streets yet? It gives you the ability to get a street level view of your house just by typing in an address. You can 'walk' along the street and look at your neighbours houses too. It doesn't appear to be available for all addresses worldwide yet but no doubt that will come.

Go to Google Maps and type in an address. Then click the little orange person above the zoom bar. (If it is grey it means Google Streets isn't yet available for that address.)

Hmm... now why is Mrs Jones husband's car parked up Mrs Smith's driveway at 2 o'clock in the afternoon?

Works for me. My street shows on the map but not available for strolling on yet.

yeah, i tried google streets. It scares me to be honest. Google is turning into something so massive. It used to just be a search engine and now you can see your house with it!
China will not rule the world. Google will, but im down with that. Google is awesome.

Oooerr...
I can see myself playing naked twister when looking down my street...

:p
haha. It is kinda scarey I guess. But I don't see why people are so bothered really.
