Bird's eye view from Microsoft
Looks like we have another round of fight from Microsoft vs. Google.
I came across local.live.com today. At first glance it seemed like just another map site with aerial photography. In many instances the aerial photography is much newer on their site.
However the "cool factor" comes with their "bird's eye view". This allows you to not only see a house from top down, but also from the side.
While their address lookup system seems a bit hokey at the moment, you can zip to your favorite city and then peruse from there.
And for once, Beloit is in the mix!
