    StreetViewr.com - Spotting Oddities From the Google Van

    streetviewr

    Google"s Street Viewer hasn"t been around for more than a week and there"s already a site made especially for showcasing the oddities and points of interest captured by Googles now infamous van. Street Viewr with it"s distinct 2.0 nomenclature features links to Google maps where users have spotted funny signs, fender benders, their garage, cats on mats, and the list goes on. The site seems to cater to those paranoid few who believe the Google van is surreptiously spying on them, as well as those keen on ferreting out the slices of weirdness in the American landscape. Users submit entries which are then linked to Google"s own StreetViewer. You"ll need Adobe Flash to view it of course. The yellow flower icon represents strange, unusual or broken locations, while the blue cloud-like icon denotes merely interesting locales.

    In their own words

    "I made streetviewr because I wanted a place to collect unusual, interesting and just plain weird locations in Google ® Street Views.

    Why it might be a killer

    Streetviewr is just the kind of site that people yearn for when apps like Google"s Street Viewer surfaces. You could waste tons of time using StreetViewr with its weird and wacky sites.

    Some questions


    This is more a novelty site than anything else. The novelty will soon wear off especially once the hype around Street Viewer itself dies down.
