Over the years there have been vast improvements in the online mapping capabilities of sites such as Mapquest, Google Maps, Virtual Earth and the myriad of other similar products. The latest and greatest innovative feature comes to us courtesy of Google Maps. They have instituted a new view to their maps for select cities, designated as the street view. This view provides a 360 degree, panoramic view from the street level rather than the standard aerial photography. The project was originally started in May of 2007 in select large metropolitan areas but as of February 12, 2008 Boise has been added to the list!

Even if you are not tech-savvy you can still have an email address that is professional, memorable and simple. Now I know what you are thinking, how can I afford to have my own domain emails and how the heck will I set it up?!?! The answers to both of these questions are actually quite simple.
