Google is changing the world
Check out Google maps. In the upper right corner is a link that says Satellite. This simply amazes me. I know satellite imagery is nothing new, but at this level of usability it’s awesome, and never before has it been searchable like a map (afaik). You can even do directions on a satellite image! This is one of the most amazing things I’ve seen come out of Google yet. I’ve been having fun for the past 15 minutes looking around Chicago from a very different perspective, and I’ve found things I didn’t know were there. Awesome!
(When you spider this, thanks Google!)
