PART OF THE #PAINTINGTOUR uses Google Street View, a part of Google Latitude that I've been using more frequently now that I have a phone with a decent graphic processor and ample screenscape (the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc).

Street View is one of those mesmerising taps you can make on a touchscreen and find yourself immersed for hours. I use Street View and Google Places a lot and plan to reserve brilliant places on holidays with the Zagat app too. Google bought Zagat, the restaurant review service. Zagat's reviews of NYC restaurants has always been a winner for me. The pithy four line reviews represent the end product of some practical exercises I am running for first year students of Media Writing. The Zagat Android app costs 6.99 euro, proving that writing well pays. Connecting Zagat to my pocket maps is a win all around.
