Google Streetview launches in Australia
Google has launched Streetview in Australia, and it’s awesome. Their coverage in Sydney and suburbs seems good (I haven’t seen specifics of coverage yet). I’m looking forward to seeing how it gets used specifically on real-estate sites. No more of agents not showing the front of a property because it looks old and dodgy. The face-blurring technology seems reasonably good. I think it may be a bit overzealous as I did spot some trees which had been blurred out, as well as blurring on the back window of my car parked outside my house 
[EDIT: As of 05/08/08 only Domain.com.au is live with streetview, it appears that realestate.com.au and homehound.com.au (the other two major real estate portals) are not yet ready to embrace it. I'd guess this is due to realestate.com.au having way bigger things to worry about right now. Check it out by searching for any property in sydney on domain.com.au and looking at the map on the property details page, or in the image gallery. Disclosure: I work for the owners of Domain]
