I am sure that a lot of you have seen the Google maps project, which allows you to not only see regular maps, but it also allows you to switch to Satellite view. To boot, the interface is just great! Google had this product to release because they bought a software company that offered keyhole satellite data. The company also had a standalone viewer for seeing these images, but Google decided to continue charging for that software, until yesterday. On Tuesday, Google officially released the software free to the public. You can find more information at the Google Earth project.

Let me take a moment and comment about how much Google has done for the Internet. I believe that they have revolutionized so many different parts of the internet, starting with the search engine. But they did not stop there, they are constantly working on products to better help the Internet surfing world, some of the ones under development can be found on the Google Labs site. They just have done soo much for the Internet and I commend them for trying to make as much of this information free as possible.
