Is Google Store View The Next Big Thing?

Is Google Street View expanding? Reports have come in that a New York retailer named Oh Nuts, allowed people from Google to come into the store and take pictures of inside the store, every 6 feet, and in all directions. Pictures of the products on display were also snapped up. Apparently this is for a new Google Maps feature called “Google Store View”. If this is true, you’ll be able to “walk” into a store from Google Street View, and check out the store, just like that. According to the source, when asked about this, a Google spokesperson just responded:

“We are always experimenting with new features for Google Maps. We have nothing further to announce at this time.”

Do you think that this is true, and we’ll be seeing Google Store View sometime soon, or is it an early April fool’s joke?
