Blog – Finally a postive use of Google Steet View!!!
Since Google Street View launched last month it seems to have done nothing but cause trouble and controversy. Depsite being a very cool piece of technology it has apparently, aided burgalars, caused divorces and, riots in small villages.
However, despite all this negative press a client has just proved that Street View can actually be a very useful media tool as he used it to brief me on a couple of specific outdoor sites that he was interested in! What clearer way then navigating that little orange man to the exact location and showing me pictures of the sites in question?!
Could this be a media first? Or indeed the beginning of the end of all of this Street View negativity?! Watch this space in Media Week!!?

It was certainly the easiest way I have found to brief outdoor, however on a large scale campaign I suspect it wouldn’t be very time efficient!

Agreed, I think that Streetview has proved to be quite a useful tool in the world of outdoor – just last week we completed a virtual pre site tour using streetview! You can even zoom in soo close to identify site numbers and at the touch of a button streetview can bring up all the bus stops! Amazing!
