Google Maps Add Keyhole Satellite Images

Not sure how useful this is (especially when compared to Amazon's cool Find It On The Block technology), but it sure adds a lot of WOW.

I like it when the satellite does one pass during the summer and an adjacent pass during the fall.

I find it incredibly amusing that they allow you to view satellite images of Groom Lake, Nevada (Area 51), but not the typical MapQuest-style map of the same location.

A number of Slashdotters are pointing out that this is actually Area 51. Looks like they've had a giant white-out spill.

Someone has created Google Sightseeing, a blog dedicated to the amusing things which occur in Google's satellite maps.
