Ads now available in Google Earth

Google Earth is safe from billboards no more.

Observe this screen shot of a Google Earth search for "Car Rental" in Boston, MA.
Ok – so Boston, MA is a long way from Speedy Exhaust and Towbars in Parow, but the cool thing is that opportunity to ‘own’ your business billboard in cyber-mapping-space is available.

Nice way to let your guests know where the party is.

Most ads these days look like they were made with one of these cheapie options – so you’re not really loosing much by firing that ad agency of yours.
