Many of the times we are on Google Maps looking if our own house is visible. Unfortunately, they are outdated and not live because of security reasons.  What if you could get notified when a certain aerial image was updated at a certain  point? That would be awesome! So, you did not have to go back constantly to check if it was updated.  If you have a Google account and can click this link , followyourworld.appspot.com you may tell Google to notify you when there is a new image.

It is easy. Just give it the location and an email address.  That is it.
