Brooklyn, NY – I received a tip from a New York retailer named Oh Nuts, that Google came to their store to take pictures for a new Google Maps product named “Google Store Views.” I was told that they took pictures of the inside of the store, every 6 feet, in all directions. They also took pictures of products.

Google Store Views will allow people to essentially walk into the store, off of Google Street Views. So imagine you are looking at this store, and then you can click on the door to enter it, all on Google Maps. Then when you enter the store, you can wall through it.
Here are pictures of Google capturing the pictures from within the store: Oh Nuts is located in Flatbush on Ave J
A Google spokesperson sent us the following statement: We are always experimenting with new features for Google Maps. We have nothing further to announce at this time.
i know they were also in LE MONTRES the nice watches store in boro park latly
the pictures posted are NOT of oh nuts on Avenue J. They could be the one on 13th Avenue but the are not the Avenue J store.
Now the ganovim can case the joint online.
I hope they were real Google employees not just a group canvassing neighborhoods for hits
Before you know it, Google will have pictures of your living room available online
Is that who that was taking pictures of my breakfront last night? They wanted to go into the bedrooms too but I told them there was no jewelry. Had I known it was just Google I would have welcomed them in. Could you imagine how easy it would be for real estate brokers to be able to sell houses and buildings. But please Google, No Bathrooms!!! This was for you MC
do they have to ask permision or can they just walk in setup their equipment and snap pics ?
This is creepy. Big Brother is watching you. Was the store OK with this?
the store has to request for google to come snap the pictures
The second picture looks like it was taken in the basement of the 13th avenue store…
I highly doubt this, call me crazy but i think some one might be planning to maybe rob the valley bank next door?
Hey Surie – is that you in the picture? And then you want ME to pay for your nutricianist… Keep away from the chocolate already!! Love, Totty
this is the 13th ave store
Just in time for Purim – How convenient !
Google will video some big shuls in Flatbush. All you will have to do is click on the Aaron kodesh and , pop, bingo, the doors will fly open.
Then click again to get the torah scrolls open to where you need to lain.
things are getting better for us. Remeber the days where we had to get up , get dressed, get in the car drive a block , look for parking and go to shul?
No more of that! Just Google your local shul.
Google will also be working on shailos and Shivas just in time for Purim.
This is wonderful, we can all shop with out ever having to go to 13th Ave, this way we can avoid all the double and triple parkers & discourtious drivers who think they are the only ones on the road!
Google came to my store also to take photos…They ask permission before they come and its a free service which will be available like street view…..
hey, i didnt know that the 13th ave store had a staircase going up,,,whats upstairs?
Sorry, too creepy and a bad idea for many reasons.
