I enjoyed playing around with online mapping using Community Walk. What a neat way to highlight the great venues that Saskatoon has to offer its citizens and tourists. I can see how this could be used to show patrons how to get to the nearest public library or bookstore.
I tried Google maps - entered the address for my parents house, the house I grew up in. I was going to try adding my hometown to my blog. What a shock! The map had a picture of the front of the house and I could see my dad & brother sitting on the front porch. Yikes! It was blurry and you would have to know the people involved but it does seem invasive. Still, I've been feeling rather homesick lately and seeing my dad's face made me smile. Technology is a wonderful, terrible thing ...
