Cool Site of the Day - Google Satellite Maps

Google now has satellite maps available of almost anywhere in the world, including Beijing, China, Cairo, Egypt, and Cannon Beach, Oregon. Make sure you put both the city and country name separated by a comma, otherwise it won't work. You can also find famous landmarks, such as the ones that these folks at Perljam submitted; some of the more interesting include Mecca, Area 51, Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch, and the Statue of Liberty.

You can also learn how to make your own annotated multimedia Google map. It doesn't look too hard, and so I'll be attempting to do this myself.
