Google Street View; killer app...

There has been plenty of controversy about Google's steady, stealthy and meticulous street photography as it builds up street level photography for its Google Maps 'street view'. Back in July, the street view car was spotted by many eagle-eyes techies, but Google seemed to want to preserve the mystique of the street view project by staying mum on its tour dates. That just made it all the more exciting when we did spot it...

In upstate New York, a street view car hit a baby deer on Five Points Road - and then recorded the whole thing on Google Maps. Nobody noticed until, well, someone noticed, prompting a Daily What blog post, floods of traffic, and then a sequence of five street-level pictures being removed from the site.

I like it already.

Tragedy has struck though. In upstate New York, a street view car hit a baby deer on Five Points Road - and then recorded the whole thing on Google Maps.

I wouldn't quite consider that a tragedy Bit of a strong word for a baby deer dying

She should have her uterus removed and any remaining chidren taken from her.
