Last May, Google was testing its AdWords inside Google Earth and this week bloggers report more sightings. I replicated their experiment: ran a search for "Car Rental" in Boston, MA and got an ad for Budget and a custom logo on the map itself (click image to zoom in).
And while we are on the topic, Google Earth Blog linked (a year ago, but better late than never) to 3D anaglyph models of buildings that can be uploaded into the software (original here).
