Google Launches Google Earth

This product was previously developed by Keyhole. It has since been bought by Google and got renamed to Google Earth.

I just got it installed on my computer. It is pretty neat. I checked out some of the areas in San Francisco, and you can actually see some of the buildings in 3D!

I gotta run, so I am just going to cut and paste this blurb that I got from slashdot:

Nathan Weinberg writes "Google launches Keyhole 3 today, rebranded Google Earth, and are dumping the subscription rate (except for a $20/year "plus" versions with prettier pictures) available soon at earth.google.com. The program lets you fly around a 3D globe, with overhead satellite photos, tilted 45-degree photos, 3D rendered buildings, and overlays that display everything from roads to hotels to bike routes. I have a lot of info and screenshots at InsideGoogle, and Search Engine Watch has a big writeup. With yesterday's Google Video release, this is shaping up to be a major week for the search giant."
