I wish the pictures linked to google maps.
- fedd 16y agothis could offend the depicted neighbourhoods or people. or nations...
- iron_ball 16y agoMaybe, but it's a direct snapshot of reality; there's not even any special framing, just selection bias.
- al_james 16y agoI think many of them are no longer on google maps, particularly in areas where they retake the photos quite often.
- hartror 16y agoHmm I wonder if Google archives the old images?! It would shock and sadden me if they didn't given they will produce quite a fantastic scholarly record in 50->100 years time. And given the growth in storage tech the cost of storing the old data sets will only get cheaper.
- al_james 16y agoYes. That would be awesome indeed.
- relix 16y agoSome photos are unique due to their location though, so it'd be cool if we could see where exactly they were taken.
- al_james 16y agoYes, it would be cool to link through to the location even if the image is not there...
