Google Street View Exposes Too Much?

June 7, 2007 - You have undoubtedly heard about the New Google Street View release as a function of Google Maps. But, you probably knew nothing about the service until a the flurry of media reports regarding the Google Street View privacy concerns. In a nutshell, the new Google service allows a user to navigate the streets with a 360-degree, high-resolution panorama. It's only available in New York, Miami, Denver, Las Vegas, and the San Francisco Bay Area, but plans for more growth throughout the United States and other countries. It appears that the service might be too good. There are reports of nude sunbathers, a snapshot still of a female's panties as she enters he car and XXX rated video fans' license plates as they exit porn shops and strip clubs.

What do you think? Is Google's practice of indexing of the world getting out of hand? As an SEO, I can already think of a plethora of utilities for the service.

Let me know what you think.
