Googley Eyed

Wow Google has everything that anyone could ask for.

I looked at numerous Google products and was impressed with most of them: Google Earth, Docs, sketch up. My favorite is Google Maps. I know there has been controversay over privacy issues, which I understand, but I have used this product not to look at people but to see what places are like that I want to visit, and even found the names of businesses in town that I couldn't remember but knew where they were in the town. So I have found it useful for that reason.

As with anything one can't rely on it fully. I have looked up my home address and there is a beautiful picture of the back alley and the house number associated to my house is completely off. So I guess my privacy is secure...for the moment.
