Still, the Store Views idea may make sense in a sort of evolutionary context.

Consider that Street View went from exploring big cities with cars to parks and universities with custom tricycles. Maybe having Googlers with tripods wander around inside stores is the next step?Google could know better than to photograph boring spots, too. It was an establishment called Oh Nuts that originally tipped Barry Schwartz off about Store Views, and thats not the sort of shop you find on every street corner.
