Much Ado About Pegman

Hey, if folks like a little animated man to help them use Google's StreetView, that's fine. Alas, a different interface innovation is getting short shrift: access to "report a concern." Says a commenter on VentureBeat:

The 'report a concern' link is now directly at the bottom of the Street View. Before you had to click help and find the link in the information window that opened.

That true - but it's a sort of "watermark" like the (c)Google 2008 beside it, so you'd likely not know it's there, unless you read this post. I hope others will help spread the word on this interface change and perhaps encourage Google to make it a bit more visible.
