Google brings us the streets

Google has just added a new button to it's map system. It's called Street View and it's comprised of photographs taken from the street. These photos were taken on just about every street in the Twin Cities (including some suburbs).

Here's a photo of my house.

My house is directly behind the center tree and has red doors. You can click the arrows to make your way north or south down the street.

Local blogger Aaron Landry has a good post about the new street view with some great links to explore.

Cody Hanson (who works at the U) caught the Google photo car cruising around in September.

Let me know what you think in the comments.
