Last Wednesday, Google announced the release of the integration between their program Panoramio and Google Street View. This combination of tools now offers user submitted photos of locations around the world. While the current offerings of locations where this is available is limited it brings up an interesting idea. Now, a home owner or real estate agent could upload various photos of a home, from different angles, in different seasons, to give a better understanding of the home.

For example, if you type in an address of a property that is for sale and a picture of a huge RV is blocking the home because at the time the Google van drove by your neighbor had an out of town visitor, you could upload new photos of the home without the obtrusion of the RV.  

Take a look for yourself and see what you find. Will you be looking into uploading your own photos?
