Google in the Sky, with Satellites

Wow. Google sure knows how to leverage technology. It's so cool the way they just keep raising the bar, offering more and more free (yes, free!) services over the web. Google maps, mondo storage with Gmail, and of course their search engine.

Hopefully you've already checked out Google maps. Now they've enhanced the service with a new satellite view you can get by clicking the right link. Now you can peek in your neighbor's back yard.

Update: Evidently, Google purchased the Keyhole satellite image vendor.
