A9
The folks over at Amazon and the new A9 search engine are compiling a visual yellow pages. At the time of posting, there are 10 US cities where you can from the comfort of your browser view the street and store front of the location you are looking for.
I have always thought it would be cool to have a virtual earth, where you could visit anywhere in the world from your computer and endulge in a real world simulation of your desired location. While you cannot walk up and down the streets with A9, this is a step in the right direction. Hopefully it will take off and they will cover all of North America in a few years!
