News Flash! Google Isnt Perfect

The other day my roommate and I used Google Maps to look up the address of a bar where we were meeting friends. The image above is the location our search returned.

Clearly, 14 Orchard Street in New York City is not located in New Jersey.

Google isn’t perfect. The more we come to rely on it, and other web-based companies as sources for critical information, the more scary such results are.

Update: Just looked at at my feed reader and Venture Chronicles is reporting that Gmail is borked…that’s ironic timing

    Very true. I have caught addresses that are blocks away from the actual location when looking up destinations. Always double-check your online maps.

The Air Jordan X (10) “Chicago 45″ will release at only 150 sneaker stores across the United States with each retailer only receiving 23 pairs.
