Google has way to much information of us anyways. All email and search patters are saved. Thats scary. Now they know where you live.

Austin just came on line with Google Street View - and it was just a little disconcerting (not to mention it was trash day and there sits our can out front). Its certainly not something that I would sue over. Of course, Google may just start offering an "opt-out" to delete your photo like the phone company charges for unlisted numbers. But only using Google checkout.

People just love the idea of free money. Bet they went with the low amount figuring Google would just say the heck with it and pay them off.

I was thinking the same thing when I read about this over at Marketing Pilgrim. Seems like the couple exposed their home and location more than Google ever could.

In their defense, they aren't suing for billions (only $25K) like the rest of the sue happy Americans running around.

Well, we didn't see this one coming. Google, the cash-cow. Let's see if we can milk'em.
Seriously, this could put a serious dent into my "zestifarming" plans.

I'm a lawyer, and I can't even believe this. It's sad that our society has come to a point where we just sue everyone if we are even a little upset. Nuts!

You mean the Google guy didn't see that "Private Road" sign.

It's not like this is real-time information. Hey, that coffee is hot by the way. I haven't seen anyone go down my street with a camera, yet.

Who can we sue next? I tried using Google streetview and as the article you linked to mentioned, the street number was WAAAYY off. Please, come down my street. When you find house #999, let me know.
