Google Street View to Include BFE by the Year 2011 – says The Onion

By Matthew Dollinger

According to the really really smart people in charge of Google Maps (including Google Street View) they are in the works of covering every nook and cranny of the world by 2011. (Just kidding)

However, they have done a great job of increasing their overall view of the United States and the world by increasing their coverage map:

This is what their coverage looked like before and after the update:

Thanks to the guys over at www.GeekEstate.com (one of my all-time favorite Nerd Herd sites – see CHUCK) for keeping me posted as to their expansion. With international sites available now as well, this tool keeps getting cooler and cooler.

Don’t know about Google Street View? Check out an earlier post that I did here entitled Go Go Google Street View, or simply head over to Google Maps, put in a location and click on Street View.

About

Matthew Dollinger I would like to consider myself a real estate martyr, but I think that's a little drastic.


How I would like to position myself in the industry is somewhat of a "conduit" between agents/brokers and those continually innovating tomorrow's real estate model. I believe that Real Estate needs to ditch the mentality that it's "more than a business" and truly look to innovative companies, (regardless of industry), and learn from them. It's how we will grow and succeed in this marketplace.


I am constantly looking for new partners that share a passion for learning, innovating and implementing ideas. If you have a thought, idea, or would like to share, simply reach out to me.
