It's getting a bit too scary if you ask me.
I recently used Google Earth to zoom in on a friends house on the other side of the planet. I could see the pool, the car, even the dog house!

Whoo, don't like the look of this, how do we keep our children safe, don't ever give out your address is what we drum into them, what's the point with a programe like this. What are Microsoft thinking about.

There is also This for UK people. Just input some one's last name and town in the "Find a friend" box and it will search the electoral role, telling you the full address, who else lives with them, and telephone number (if its not ex directory) of anyone in that town with that last name. It also has a "Get Directions" feature which tells you step by step how to get to their house from your location.
