May 14th, 2009 at 10:00AM: It seems like we can't get enough of Twitter lately. In fact, as the service continues to add new users, the number of applications that help you use it for travel only seems to grow. Recently we learned a quirky new tool called Stweet that links up the street level views found on Google Maps with the power of Twitter. Although applications like Twittervision already show you a real time map of ...Google Street View captures a proud moment for one Aussie
Aug 15th, 2008 at 1:30PM: Since its launch in May of 2007, Google Street View has been a source of controversy. The Google feature offers web surfers 360° street-level views around hundreds of cities worldwide. Some of the photos, taken by a car-mounted video camera, have captured some personal moments, like people entering adult book stores, leaving strip clubs, picking their noses, and entering buildings with ...Google Maps Street View catches what looks like a drug deal in Chicago
Mar 24th, 2008 at 11:00AM:
That pesky Google van with the camera is up to its old shenanigans again! This time, it snapped what looks like a drug deal in progress on the streets of south Chicago. Of course, it could be something completely innocent; handing money through a car window isn't illegal. Maybe the gentleman's grandmother was headed to the grocery store and he wanted her to pick-up some milk and eggs for him? Or ...Google Maps Street View Circa 1907

I'm sure by now most of you have heard of or even played around with the new Google Maps Street View. If you've been reading Gadling for even a few months, you'll know that we gushed about the feature on numerous occasions. (1, 2, 3, 4) It turns out that Google wasn't the first to develop this technology. (And no, I'm not talking about Amazon.com's A9 or whatever it was called.) Way back in ...JetBlue Adding Real-Time Google Maps In-Flight
Jun 6th, 2007 at 12:45PM: Low-cost American airline JetBlue announced yesterday they have struck a deal with search giant Google to provide the familiar Google Maps software on the seat-back screens to map the flight's route in real-time. Family and friends will also be able to pull up JetBlue.com and track any flight via the same Google Maps interface. In celebration of the deal, JetBlue is running a contest called ...Google Streetview Round-Up
Jun 5th, 2007 at 1:02PM: Whether or not you think Google's new Streetview application violates privacy issues, there's no denying that -- in only a week -- Streetview immediately became a glorious time-suck for for countless Internet-addicts.
Arguably better than actually leaving your house (think: no gas, no smog, no getting lost, no road rage), Streetview offers people the chance to see parts of the US they might not ...Streetviewr Is A Fun Time Wastr
Jun 1st, 2007 at 10:32AM: We promise not to turn this into the Google Streetview blog, but this morning I learned about Streetviewr, which I thought was pretty cool. Well...if you think wasting, like, 30 minutes clicking on cryptic captions to see what kinds of images they reveal is "cool."
In any case, Streetviewr -- similar to Google Sightseeing, which highlights interesting locations across the globe using Google ...Google Streetview: Odd Findings & Interesting Places
May 30th, 2007 at 12:37PM:
A reader sent in a running list of odd findings on the new Google Maps Street View we reported on yesterday. This is similar to the website, Google Sightseeing, which highlights interesting locations across the globe using Google Earth. Oddities include headless people, camera glitches, and the entire Google crew standing outside the Googleplex as the panoramic van drives by (above). Found any ...Google Maps Adds Street View
May 29th, 2007 at 1:22PM:
My favorite mapping application, Google Maps, has just added a new killer feature: Street View. In supported areas (NYC for instance), a new button will pop up along side the standard "Traffic, Map, Satellite, and Hybrid" offering a first-person prospective at intersections throughout the city. Once the image pops up, you're then able to drag the view of the camera a full 360 degrees. The ...
