I was surfing through familiar neighborhoods on maps.google.com. When a street is color coded blue, you can "drive through" and enjoy the view. I did that on commonwealth ave and Route 16. At every point, you can pause and do a 360 panoramic view. In a
Boston Globe article, the writer mentions that Google will allow users to create their own mashups on this platform. We could, for example, show our own street corner with our data. Imagine giving people directions to your party on maps with a view. Just like we click on an underlined text, we will begin to look for blue lines on a map to surf.
