    Now what would be funny would be to follow the crew of the Google car & get some images of them in the pub, in the jacks etc. They must be staying locally. Like when someone got a cherry picker & filmed though Kelvin McKensie's windows when he was editor of the Sun.

    Will be cool to have a Google street view of Galway. I'm not bothered if I'm in any of the images.

    Mam told me that there's some "internet car" going around taking pictures of people. Asked what to look out for owing to the "internet, it's full of paedo's and psychos? God what would they do with the images?".

    Damn you Goolge, terrifying our technological illiterate aul wans!

    Was driving up to the shop (in Moycullen), live on a small 'one car only' road and he came flying toward me!!!

    I look like this :eek: on it! I can't wait until it goes live!!!

    It would be cool to follow him! Red Astra with big long pole coming out the top!

    Soooo cool, I'm so excited!!

    It is doing Connemara all week . Once it finishes it will do Galway and then it is off to Limerick

    It will take until the autumn to process the pictures and fuzz up peoples faces before it releases the streetview walkthroughs :)

    First time a search engine ever went looking for ole Sponge Bob and it found him lurking by the roadside out past Bushypark .

    It feels very ****ing odd ...honest :p

    Damn, I know this sounds pathetic but I think it would be so much fun to catch that thing passing by and give it a big wave or give it the finger or something! :D

    Here are a few snaps of people who were quick with their phone cameras when they saw the BigBrotherMobile passing by... http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/03/24/surveillance_feedback_loop/page2.html

    I cannot say but I can confirm that boreens in Bushypark Barna Moycullen and Spiddal are of high importance in a super secret project and that cities will be done.

    All of Connemara is certainly more important that Castle Park which is a 6.30am in June 'special project' as is Mulhuddart , Tallaght , Darndale , Most of Limerick , North Cork etc .

    Google are sticking to safe and pleasant areas in daylight hours , for now . They will do the cities when it is safe to do so !

    Spotted him again today , the google sticker has now been removed from the car for some reason. He was parked up at Furbo beach waiting for the rain to stop and with the camera covered.

    Spotted it at about 8.45 in Spiddal - same as above - waiting for the rain to go - think he'll be doing that a lot today!

    Very unusual that they're covering Spiddal. There isn't even high-resolution of that place on Google Earth (not the last time I checked anyway).

    They should wait until there is a bit of decent weather in may/june....not to make us look bad.
