#2Really neat. Something's weird with the shortcut links. I get http://qsview.com/7pd0rz6j7bdz-y4zokz1ap from the share icon but it 404s.

That's strange as the generated links are only designed to contain alphanumeric characters - the link didn't work because the regex rejected the hyphen.
I've changed it now - does the link correspond to the correct location? If not, please can you let me know the address which generated this link?
Thanks

#4I knew what this was coming in and still I was impressed. Nice job.
It's been awhile since I've actually used GSV...the images seem much higher-res than I remember.

#5Well this is freaky, I typed in "white house" and I got an INTERNAL tour of the white house. Awesome.
Also try "google campus".
What's interesting is the real google streetview needs adobe flash to run, this works with flash disabled.

Haha I just did the same thing except I typed 1600 Pennsylvania ave then I was taken inside the lobby looking at a picture of Bill Clinton.

Since they've started targeting mobile browsers, they've switched in some places to the projection here (which uses a flat projection that is just translated), which is implemented in straight HTML + JS. In other words, this is official Google StreetView too, just their new embeddable viewer.

#10This is a pretty surreal experience. I really enjoy typing in an address and seeing other towns and cities flash before my eyes. I love the app, but I almost think the sequence of random street views is more enjoyable.
