I also like the new 'indoor' version of streetview. Now instead of just seeing the street as if you were there, you can go into buildings and homes as well. For example, I can go to 1016 Pine St in Philadelphia and walk right through the front door. There are two ladies getting the hair styled while a 3rd lady waits.

That all depends on what you are looking for. I am getting ready to take a trip and there is an antique district I want to go to. The 'inside' view lets me know what kind of merchandise the stores carry. I'm not sure why some peoples home are available unless there is some historical significance involved.

That's actually kind of enjoyable when you find something like it. I tend to spend one eve a year silly dreaming about the annual HGTV Dream house grand prize home. Loved the one that was down in Tyler TX a few years back.
