"The website acts like a digital time machine, and uses Google Maps and Street View technology to allow the wide public to dig out, upload and pin their own old photos, as well as the stories behind them, onto an interactive map." [swimswim, Jun 29 2010]

I didn't know that there was a street named Google. |

i thought street view was released just this summer. how could they have pictures from five years ago? |

I'm preempting someone posting this idea
in five years' time |
|
| |
that makes much more sense.... |
|

Speaking of Wayback, and pre-emption, I posted a very similar idea, recreating virtual worlds from the buildings that used to occupy a town, using CAD CAM. But I cannot now remember the title of the idea, nor exactly when I posted it. |

Google's published policy is to *not* photograph military bases for their street-level views. They accidentally had a driver go into Ft Sam Houston, San Antonio, with the cameras on, and uploaded the pictures to their database. The street-level pictures have since been removed. |

Until recently, the Gooogle Maps view of my street was well over five years old. |
|
| |
Someone simply must put together a Google: Pangea, for an older view. Might take some time to do. |

My brother is currently trying to reconstruct some of the history of one neighborhood for his thesis (what businesses were where, when). It's proven extremely difficult, as the records are incomplete, inconsistent, etc. Having this idea going forward would definitely be useful. DrC's reconstruction would be very difficult. |

Although this is an old idea, it should be mentioned that Google has baked this idea. There are historic maps and a timeline slider for old satellite photos in the current Google Earth. |

Hey [hippo] - I'm a few days late. |
|
| |
Can we get a google street view wayback machine? |
|
| |
[Custard] Yes you can - Google have just implemented it (see link) |

I think that the folks at Google watch this site daily
for good ideas. But then I've been diagnosed with a
mental disorder in the past, that featured grandiosity
as a symptom... |

Imagine how crazily coolawesomeplusdoublefab this is going to be if it manages to survive till 2050. |

Of course! The creator of the HB works at Google
now. |

And, this is a great idea so it's very welcome. |
