Google Street View has mixed opinions the world over. Japan, Greece and Paul McCartney have all been upset by the application. Disneyland Paris, on the other hand welcomed it with open arms. What's your opinion?

The Greeks lodged complaints against Google amid fears that their country would become something out of a George Orwell novel. An unnamed agency official said "We are not going to allow our country to become a Big Brother society."

In response, Google gave the following statement:

"Google takes privacy very seriously, and that's why we have put in place a number of features, including the blurring of faces and licence plates, to ensure that Street View will respect local norms when it launches in Greece,"

Earlier this year, Paul McCartney also demanded his London house was removed from Street View amid fears that users could get a 360-degree view of the property.

And to that end, Japan successfully lobbied for a re-shoot after many people complained that their privacy was intruded. Google's 360-degree panoramic images extend high enough to see over people's fences, into their gardens and even into their houses.

Disneyland Paris, on the other hand, have got it spot on with their use of the web app. Now, you can log on and wander around the park from the comfort of your home. This great idea allows guests to check out the park and decide whether of not they want to visit. We look forward to the English parks being added to the list.

Google street view launched in 2007. The service has now expanded to more than 100 cities world-wide.
