Google Maps Street View

I had heard about the new "Street View" in Google Maps earlier but just tried it for real tonight...

To "walk" from my previous life office on 11 John Street over to Ground Zero and Battery Park, then zoom over to the west coast and drive around Sunnyvale (less pics) and Stanford's Palm drive -- it's freak' cool! Try it.

Now let's mash this up with SecondLife somehow... (BTW, off-topic but still: OpenCroquet and maybe more so lg3d-wonderland are kind of interesting; it's not about SL, it's the big picture behind of what is emerging with these...)

PS, added after initial post of the above: Second Earth...
