The latest function of Google Maps. I don't know how recent it is but I've just found out about it and I'm freaking blown away. It's only available for a few cities right now but it's still awesome. A complete 360 degree view at street level, that you can rotate and look around. Man, this is wild stuff! Just wait till they add more though...

edit-I just figured out that you can zoom in and out!

You can not only zoom in and out; you can look in my window. To which the blinds are, oddly, drawn up. It is, however, dark inside.

Suggest change of thread title to "realMYST 2007".

EDIT: EEEEEK!

I kinda expect a lot of brilliant easter eggs out of this somewhat like that black void there.

This is both creepy and neat. I mean, there really is no reason at all to have this.

I can't wait for the people who find the nudie photos on this.

It could be useful for finding landmarks in unfamiliar areas.

Note that some are being removed already. From that boingboing thread, the shot of the guy being arrested has already been eliminated.
