Google Street Views offer revealing looks -- maybe too revealing

(06-01) 17:25 PDT -- There's no hiding from Google - at least in several U.S. cities where the company has taken snapshots up and down the streets and posted the images via its online mapping service.

And while many people are thrilled with the new service, others aren't. For instance, there's the guy who was photographed walking into a porn shop. Then there are the women sunning themselves topless in a park at Stanford. And the man trying to climb over the security gate outside a San Francisco apartment building. They were all caught by the camera lens, and now their actions reside on the Internet for all to see, raising complaints that Google is trespassing on personal privacy.

It's brilliant when people write an article about a website and don't include a link to it.

But yeah that Street Views could be real useful.
