"Down Your Way"... The 2010 version

Will any work get done today? Google's Street View was launched across the UK this morning and for the first time we can see what other people's homes look like.

We looked at the pros and cons: fears on privacy were raised, but the majority loved the idea. Wedding photographers can size up a venue, older folk can look at the street they grew up on even if they live hundreds of miles away - and it makes house hunting a breeze.

You can debate this one until you're blue in the face - but the one thing I learned from the show this morning is that we're all fundamentally nosey, and not a jot of work will get done in offices around Gloucestershire today. I'm off to log on and show off my shed collection to our head of News!
