google_map logo Google Map Street View is expanding its web day by day. Despite of severe criticism and Privacy issues, the Internet Giant is carrying over its business or in other words is facilitating its users to access a whole city, individual and its property with several clicks. Recently Google Street Views has enabled heir service in Australia and Japan with 30 new cities of US after US and France.

Yes, you can now roam around Australia and Japan also, and can pay a virtual visit to Sydney and Osaka streets. While it is quiet exciting for thousands of people who can have an eye on the imagery path of the two countries, It is equally alarming for Australians and Japanese. They have to face hidden cameras and no one knows who is the lucky person to share his property and asset inadvertently with the rest of the world.

Google is indulged in expanding its imagery view and is excited to launch its first International Street View with the Tour de France route. While their Australia Imagery tour will cover wider country area including major cities like Sydney, Perth and Melbourne.

While the newly featured 30 cities of US includes New Orleans (LA), Baton Rouge (LA), El Paso (TX), Wichita (KS), Savannah (GA), and Colorado Springs (CO). This is not the end as Google Official Blog is claiming that they have also planned a Special Surprise for its audience in the US imagery (Sigh!! hope that it wouldn’t be a massive privacy breach).

But lets face the reality with an open heart (You have to , as you don’t have any other option). Its not been long when the Internet Giant Map Street view had gathered peak privacy criticism in UK and the news was heating to shut down the service as it was greatly leaking country’s privacy but it again go green with the time. And this was the most expected thing to happened i-e it will keep on working despite of ever growing reprehension as Google always comes up with its own argument to support its cause, while its true that Google has got eyes on everyone even on its Exec’s privacy.
