Think of it as an early version of Facebook (aka “Facemash”) but with U.S. streets instead of Harvard co-eds.  But the great thing about it is that streets don’t have feelings, so feel free to judge the hell out them!

Actually the really great thing is that this project, entitled “Beautiful Streets“, which asks you to pick which street is “more beautiful” is ultimately looking at compiling data to identify the seemingly “tricky” aspects of a street that make it well loved.  By passing judgements on these hundreds of Google Streetviews you can help them achieve their goal of attempting to define what makes a street “beautiful”.

Maybe we should set up one of these for Decatur and see which street takes home the “sexiest street” prize.
