I came across this video on Techcrunch the other day. I had posted about streetview a couple weeks back, showing a street-level zoomable shot of our office entrance.
Seems it’s only a matter of time before you can walk around actual streets on your computer and interact with other virtual people strolling around. You can obviously already do that in Second Life etc.
Lots of companies are mapping actual street. See Photosynth Project or Everyscape.
Also, the New York Times has a cool article comparing real people and their virtual aliases, or avatars. Check out the slideshow here.
