Même ceux d'entre nous peu sensibles au charme de San Francisco peuvent passer des heures à se mouvoir virtuellement dans la ville à même la rue grâce au nouveau service de Google Maps qui offre depuis mardi une option "street view": après les cartes satellite, les vues panoramiques.
Voici par exemple ci-dessus les fameux locaux du journal en ligne pionnier Tabloid.net sur Haight Street dix ans après les glorieuses aventures de Ken Layne, Charlie ou Tony... Bien sûr, Google ne dit pas quand les photos ont été prises et tant pis si un pauvre type est immortalisé en train de sortir d'une boite à strip tease (le zoom est très précis, remarque le Drudge Report.) Les copains libertariens de Reason vont adorer. A quand l'intégration à Second Life?
+ Rue 89: Après les mails, la génétique dans l'oeil de Google
Even those of us rather insensitive to San Francisco's charm can find themselves spending hours gliding along the city on street level thanks to Google Map's new service offering a "street view" option since Tuesday: after the satellite maps, the panoramic views.
Here is above for instance the world-famous offices of
pioneer webmag Tabloid.net on Haight Street, ten years after its glory days with
Ken Layne,
Charlie and
Tony. Of course, Google doesn't say when the pics were taken and too bad
if a poor chap is immortalized coming out of a strip club (the zoom is very good, notes
the Drudge Report.) Our libertarian friends at
Reason will love it. When will this make it into Second Life?

Wow, that house is looking worse, even during the supposed Bay Area Real Estate Boom #19.
There are many bums on the porch steps. There used to only be one! (And often it was Charlie.)
The techno record store has changed hands. It all looks pretty grim. Civilization is over.
