I do agree that the current state of this <em><strong>prototype</strong></em> is cheesy and silly. However, I do believe there is/will be a usefulness to this type of service. Just to be able to scoot down a street and view an intersection, portion of building, business, etc... could be very useful when someone is trying to get a "feel" for the location they are looking for. Just today for example, I was going to a seminar in a part of Minneapolis that I'm not totally familiar with - a quick review of the street with this type of service would have saved me 10 minutes. Of couse I went early and got a coffee while looking for the place, so I'll admit that most of us work around this scenario easily. :) But.... it is cheesy. -Rick Mathew, I have to disagree with part of your analysis - the useful part.

Mike A. is full of BS most of the time. He's full of hype on every darn tiddly bit of a web2.0 company. And when he can BOGU for any of the Big 3 , he'll do it. Not sure how live.com is going to crush all the portal game. As for the killer App : Edgeio, lets see how he makes out. After all , thats his startup !! frankly speaking.
