Google made several top stories during the week ending June 1, 2007.  One story was Google Street Views.  Google has added a new feature to its map service allowing people to see the actual streets of the addresses they search for.

This feature may bring on privacy issues.  The photos show the actual homes of people so anyone knowing the address of another can see what the homes of people look like.  If the people happen to park their cars or be in front of the homes at the time the pictures were taken by Google, their privacy may be invaded even further.  Google argues that this is not an invasion of privacy because they are allowed to take photos of things found in public places.
