worthy writings on street view

Posted by Perry on June 8th, 2007

I’ve long been a fan of the writings of Mark Morford, a SF-based writer whose voice leaves me rolling on the floor consistently. Here is his take on Google Street View, an excerpt below. Good Friday reading, as in good for a Friday, certainly not for “Good Friday”.

Ah, Google, you great wicked benevolent super-cool vaguely disturbing Big Brother überbitch mega-company, quietly taking over the entire goddamn Net universe and most of the terrestrial world, too, one cool but simultaneously unnerving innovation at a time.

Enjoy the diversion. The article “I Can See Your Thong From Here” with classic Morford humor raises the privacy issue with aplomb.
