I'm sure everyone knows about Google's Street view option, in which they have a street level homes in many areas.  So does Google's Streetview show your home?  Also are you able to tell when it was done?

Yes, and doing the little drive around my neighborhood it looks like its from October 07 based off Halloween decorations and political signs.  Actually it looks like other parts of my neighborhood was Oct 07, but my house was likely earlier than that, as my sister's car (well her old one anyway) is there, but she started Grad School in Vilanova in late Aug/ early Sept 07 and had her car down there.

It shows my apartment.

In related news, British villagers just chased away a Google street car so it couldn't take pics of their homes:

Nope though I do live just a few doors down from one of the major streets in Northeast Philly and that is obviously on Street View.

Not quite.  You can see the house about three doors down from me, though.

You can't see the house I lived in before that, either (there was construction on the street when the van went by), or the first one I lived in, but you can see my second house.

Almost as many suburban areas are covered by Street view as urban ones.

No, it f'ing stops at the end of the street.

I've been playing around with the streetview in various UK cities and it's really cool. Dunno why the Brits are so offended. They let me go right up to Scottish (as you can in real life) and Wales Parliaments but not Stormont or Westminster. They don't let you go into Canary Wharf either, or by City Hall. Guess they're worried about terrorists.

Yes. I was thinking about this just the other day, actually. Shows my work, too. Also shows my old work... with my former boss's mother stopping by the office! Shows my parents' place with my brother's ute (truck, for you Americans) parked out the front.

There were a couple of streets I wanted to look up - in Coopers Plains, actually, during our discussion of electoral boundaries - which weren't shown. But yeah, just about all of them are covered.

No, actually. Though you can zoom in close enough to identify your car (if you own one).

Taken in winter, obviously, by the look of the trees. Some years ago, by the state of construction over on Oskar von Miller.

I'd imagine the guy who's wife is divorcing him because she saw his customised range rover parked outside the house of a female friend at a time he claimed to be away on business is pretty pissed off. Wink

There's almost zilch in Ottawa, strangely enough. I can't find much anywhere in Canada either. Maybe our Great Führer doesn't approve of these separatist-socialist-liberal antics.

But Saint-Malo, France is fully covered and it's really cool. I can see my Grandmother's old street

No, but close.  You can see my wife's car, amusingly.

Given that the entire country only has eleven streets, I'm not too surprised.

We've had a fairly comprehensive infrastructure programme over the last few years and we're up to 12 now, with a 13th under construction.
