Small businesses across Japan, UK, USA, New Zealand have invited photographers to their  shops,
gyms and restaurants to capture images which will be uploaded in to Google online maps.Business owners can upload the 360 degree panoramic image using the street view technology to Google by just logging into Google places. The project would help businesses and customers across the world to develop an online presence at business and take a decision if they want to visit in person.   

Privacy issues has already been accounted by Google,the participation in the Google street view is completely voluntary. Google has even promised it will also blur out the images of 
bystanders and license plates.
