posted stuff before we did, including:

…and many others - in fact there’s also been a number of new
sites springing up which have begun to collect these Street View
locations, including http://streetviewr.com/ streetviewr.com, http://www.laudontech.com/StreetView/streetview.html LaudonTech,
http://streetviewvoyeur.com/ streetviewvoyeur.com, http://www.davidsterry.com/streetview/ Streetview
Notables and there’s a http://blog.wired.com/27bstroke6/2007/05/request_for_urb.html
Wired page collecting them too.

Of course here at GSS, we’ll continue to provide you the cream
of the crop of Street Views, alongside our regularly scheduled
programming!

Thanks to everyone who has submitted one of
these sights, and to all the sites who are collecting them.
