Street View Mapping Taken Off the Streets

April 8th, 2008 - Posted in Around the Internet |

here is an interesting concept, virtual tours of businesses such as restaurants, bars, etc… OK I know that does not sound new and frankly it isn’t, but when you combine Street View Mapping (Google) and virtual tours it works well. Everyscape.com has done exactly this

When I first saw the site I was not impressed, but it is new so I wasn’t expecting much. There is a funky autodrive option that let’s you sit back and be a passenger, but up on Twin Peaks in San Francisco the autodrive just took you into a tiny circle.

This isn’t a mapping website. This is an advertising website for businesses. There are many places to add your brand and marketing, and add a virtual tour of your business.

As a Scape Artist, you’ll be helping to create more than an online world — you’ll be creating the world, online. Whether you’re driving the streets with EveryScape’s special roof-mounted, multicamera, shooting the interiors of your favorite joints, passing on the inside scoop on a local shop, or just making sure that your world is being represented the way it should be. As a Scape Artist, you have the ability and responsibility to create something that means something.

Sign me up, I’d love to drive one of those cars with the roof mounted cameras through bars, restaurants and up ski mountains

Bottom line, this is a great start to an interesting website, but they need to get the traffic by offering Yelp like features and involve the community, not just businesses looking to advertise online.
