Instant results for Google Streetview searches in as-you-type format:

Discovered on my dashboard via thegoodmoment (via biscuitbottom), the images above belong to the blog ‘Hard Liquor, Soft Holes’.

Streetview Stereographic Stop-Motion Animation
Remember Streetview Stereographic? It was a clever and creative web toy that could take Google Street View images and apply a panoraic fish-eye look (sometimes called ‘Little Worlds’).
H▲LC●B has taken the idea creatively further by taking a series of this images and create a stop-motion animation from them, creating a short journey around a river, under bridges on a river in Japan …
There is another video here.

A Childhood Walk - a ZeFrank Project
THINK OF A WALK THAT YOU WOULD REGULARLY TAKE AS A CHILD; TO A BUS STOP, TO FRIEND’S HOUSE, ALONG A PAPER ROUTE, ALONG A TRAIL THROUGH THE WOODS.
LOCATE THE BEGINNING OF THAT WALK IN GOOGLE STREET VIEW AND MOVE ALONG THE SAME ROUTE THAT YOU USED TO TAKE.
IF YOUR WALK IS NOT AVAILABLE ON GOOGLE STREET VIEW, JUST TRY AND IMAGINE YOURSELF GOING ON THAT WALK.
FROM TIME TO TIME STOP AND LOOK AROUND YOU AND TRY AND FOCUS ON WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO TAKE THAT WALK.
IF A MEMORY OF A MOMENT COMES TO YOUR MIND, WRITE IT DOWN. WHEN YOU ARE DONE SEND ME AN EMAIL DESCRIBING YOUR EXPERIENCE. IF THE MEMORY IS PERSONAL YOU DON’T HAVE TO INCLUDE IT, JUST TELL ME WHAT IT FELT LIKE TO TAKE THE WALK.
(AND IF YOU USED STREET VIEW, MAYBE YOU COULD SEND ME A LINK TO YOUR WALK)

An interesting project, bringing soul and memory to technological tools we take for granted.
There are some great responses. (clicking on the image refreshes new responses)
