Did you read today's Raleigh, NC News & Observer article by writer Paul Gilster in the Local Business section about Google Maps? I did and the reporter makes some interesting observations about privacy issues and the latest Street View mapping technology made available by Google. The reporter eludes to his "Catch 22" with his routine use of Google Street View (we have the Street View map technology in Cary, NC) and his personal views about privacy.

Blurring Faces & License Plates

Google is currently testing a process to "blur" the faces of individuals and automobile license plates of those in the "path" of the Google van when it cruises the streets of Manhattan. This is all in an effort to protect individuals and their right to privacy. To me, no matter where you stand on the privacy issues, it's amazing technology!

Now to the Questions

What are your thoughts on the Google Street View mapping technology? Do you see it as an invasion of privacy to enable home buyers to take a virtual drive down the streets of your Cary neighborhood with the Google Street View technology? Or do you believe the value of the technology overrides your issues with retaining your privacy?

I look froward to your comments!
