Google Earth API

Google Earth, which had previously been available only as a desktop application, can now be seen from a web browser. Although most sites that currently use Google Maps will most likely stick with that quick-loading, two-dimensional service, some sites will certainly benefit from this new functionality.

Check out the examples below given by Google:

This is great! Opening Google Earth api to developers is going to create a whole new level of mashups.

Now it's time to think of a business that can be started using it...
