Double edge sword: Wouldn't it be nice/creepy if the person(s) that just bombed the Boston Marathon were caught using this "real time streetview army"..

I noticed the videos of the bombing started showing up right fast after the event. I don't know if there's a lot of video from the crowd, but as we move to a more pervasive surveillance society it's quite possible that we can now, for instance, look at Twitter for the past 24 or 48 hours, find all of the people who tweeted from around the bomb site area, and try to get eyewitness information from them...

What Dave suggests is actually the basic model behind SpatialNetwork's field data collection network.
