Three Minds On Digital Marketing @ Organic

One of the most interesting things that happened at Google's I/O conference today was the launch of Google Earth browser plugin.

"If you already are one of the 150,000 Maps API sites, and now want to 3D-enable it, we've made that possible with just a single line of JavaScript: just add the new G_SATELLITE_3D_MAP map type to your MapsAPI initialization code, and (for most common usages of Maps API) your site will "automagically" support Google Earth via a button in the maps view, with all your existing 2D map code now functioning in 3D as well."

The plugin is already available for installation at the Google Earth API official site. This and the Flash API for Google Maps is going to give way to a lot of mapping and location based exploration in the near future. Love where these technologies are heading.

P.S. No mac support yet I don't think though. Boo.
