Humourous solution to “Google Maps Street View” Privacy concerns

June 23, 2007

I’m a very private person, I don’t go out much, and I can’t stand having my picture taken, so you won’t be surprised to hear that I have some “issues” with Googles Street View feature.

The issue regarding Mary Kalin-Casey, and her cat Monty, has been discussed on several sites and blogs, and got me thinking…

The Google search engine, like most others, respects your “robots.txt” file. (A robots.txt is a file that you can place on your website, that tells search engines not to look at certain pages or sections.)

I’ve made a T-Shirt, and a Bumper Sticker, that displays the robots.txt file, as a sort of protest. It’s just a bit of fun, but if anyone wants one, they can check them out at my Cafepress Shop.
