Google Street View is a controversial service to many folks, especially since there was a rather painful incident of data gathering recently. Then again, there are some folks who really like the service and have actually gone to great lengths to show it. Reports are in that some fans in Germany are throwing eggs at the houses of folks who choose to have their home blurred out in Street View. Google currently sends vans through the streets taking photographs for Street View but allows home owners to request that their houses be blurred out from the service. It’s a petty response and is definitely the wrong way to show your displeasure, but it does make you wonder if Google’s Street View service will eventually gain acceptance from the general public.
