Google Street View is very nice, now a marriage proposal?

Posted by ClifNotes, Aug 2008, permalink Web Service

I saw my first good example of Google's Street View this week. I was pretty blown away by the way you can pan left, right, up, down, and move around on the streets. I saw it because of this unique marriage proposal that was made by a Google employee. See below

Try it by zooming in and out, drag the screen to pan around 360 degrees.

Quote from the website

Google decided to take some new Street View images at the Googleplex in Mountain View, California. This time they must have let the employees know, as there are many Googlers lining the street. They must have given advance warning, because some people came prepared.

One Googler named Michael Weiss-Malik, a member of the Google Geo team that does Google Maps/Earth, actually decided to make a wedding proposal in Street View. He put up a sign which you can see here.
