Google Maps To Add “Google Store Views”
I received a tip from a New York retailer named Oh Nuts, that Google came to their store to take pictures for a new Google Maps product named “Google Store Views.” I was told that they took pictures of the inside of the store, every 6 feet, in all directions. They also took pictures of products.
Google Store Views will allow people to essentially walk into the store, off of Google Street Views. So imagine you are looking at this store, and then you can click on the door to enter it, all on Google Maps. Then when you enter the store, you can wall through it.

This is getting to be a bit much, Googles. What benefit would this information actually deliver?

I wonder if this will make it easier for robbers to case stores before they rob them.

Yes, that's a silly title, and no, it doesn't mean too much, besides a hint that this blog of mine doesn't have a strict theme. Things that I obsess over include but are not limited to: synthetic/systems biology, urban planning and economics, politics, web technology and publishing, craft beer, and bicycles. My curiosity is probably both my biggest asset and my biggest liability. So! You can also find me on twitter as @candometa, on facebook, and last.fm.
