Leaving aside the privacy concerns and practical uses of Google Street View, what about having fun with it?

Remember how the old-style school photos worked, where the camera would travel along the row of pupils, taking several shots, and if you were quick you could run from one side of the photo to the other and appear twice? It's about time we did that with Street View.

My aim is to track down the photography cars and follow them as they take the pictures. By the time the files are uploaded I'd like Street View to look like my own personal Being John Malkovich. I may even go further and put on various disguises for different shots.

Why stop there, though? Join in the fun and bring some friends. A flash mob dancing in Liverpool Street station is one thing, but a flash mob taking over Street View is even better, especially if we all dress as zombies.
