Google's Maps Street View service pilots indoor photos
Google has started a pilot project allowing the public to look inside shops and other businesses found on its maps.
The feature is an extension of the firm's Street View technology, which already lets users view 360-degree exterior images.The existing service prompted some privacy complaints from people who claimed the technology was intrusive.
However, Google said the new scheme was on a completely voluntary basis.
"Building on the Google Art Project, which took Street View technology inside 17 acclaimed museums, this project is another creative implementation of Street View technology, to help businesses as they build their online presence," said a company spokesman.
"We hope to enable businesses to highlight the qualities that make their locations stand out through professional, high-quality imagery."
Initially the roll-out is limited to select locations including London, Paris and a number of cities in Japan, Australia, New Zealand and the US.
The US company said it was beginning the process by inviting the most searched types of businesses to request a visit by its photographers.
Google said these included restaurants, hotels, shops, gyms and vehicle repair workshops.
However, it has ruled out big-brand chains for the time being. Hospitals and lawyers' offices have also been excluded.
Business owners are told they must warn their customers and employees about the photoshoot before it begins. Google has promised it will blur out or refuse to publish any images that include bystanders.
The photoshoots will produce 360-degree images using fish-eye and wide-angle lenses as well as stills. Business owners are also invited to upload their own pictures.
The search site notes that all photographs taken will become its property and that they may be used for other applications. Business owners may request their removal, but the terms and conditions do not include a commitment to comply.
"Retail is always a competitive sector, but this is particularly true at a time of falling disposable incomes," said Sarah Cordey, spokeswoman for the British Retail Consortium.
"Many retailers are increasing their online presence and use of technological innovations, so this is a development some businesses will no doubt consider with interest."
China gets tough on social media
China gets tough on social media
SHANGHAI: China's Communist Party has set out to curtail social networking following years of unfettered growth after its top committee issued an edict launching a new drive to control open messaging.Websites such as Sina Weibo, a Chinese version of Twitter, have been allowed to grow explosively, with 400 million Chinese posting opinions and sharing information.
The Central Committee of the Communist Party, a 300-strong body of party, state and army leaders, has signalled its alarm that there is no equivalent to the Great Firewall that marshals the internet. It has promised to ''strengthen the guidance and administration of social internet services and instant communications tools'' to ensure ''orderly dissemination of information''.
Chinese censors have struggled to keep pace with the websites. As quickly as they delete individual messages, they find they have already been spread by hundreds, or thousands, of others. ''It has been said that China maintains strict control over the internet, but it is actually quite difficult,'' Liu Yunshan, the head of the propaganda department, said in September.
Two events appear to have convinced China's leaders that the websites cannot be allowed to continue unchecked.
The government was deeply alarmed by the way the internet was used to galvanise the Arab Spring protests across the Middle East. It is also jittery about the ''Occupy'' movement that has been sweeping the West.
Sites such as Sina Weibo, which was launched in 2009, just after China banned Twitter, have quickly become part of the mainstream.
In response to government pressure, Sina has hired 1000 staff to monitor the flow of messages through its servers.
Yin Hong, a professor at Tsinghua's journalism and communications school, said the central government found Weibo a valuable way of gauging public opinion.
