lol it's pretty incredible, the things they can do.

GOOGLE IS GOING TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD!

The street view of my school doesn't show much - although it does have one of our students out the front.

It doesn't even show the main building (a photo of which I have attached).

The street view of my house is funny - all you can see are trees - can't see the house :)

The images aren't live. They are still shots, taken by a camera mounted on top of a Google car, more than six months ago.

They must be pretty old because I typed in the address of one of my dads properties which has been demolished and units being built on it.. and strangely the house is still there :P

The photos would've been around December-January in the SE area.

The shot outside of my new place contains my dad (lol) and certain bits of cargo in his van which were delivered around this time.

Certain streets (many of them, though). My street is there, but a few others I've looked up aren't.

you can ask for your house to be taken off the program if you think it's breaching your privacy.
