Google Earth, the 3-D view of the planet through which one can fly and zoom, has been available until now only as a downloadable separate application. Now, however, Google has made a plug-in available that lets you run Google Earth in your browser.

Mpelembe.net will be creating 3-D mashups and embedding them on Web pages -- the same step that led to a glorious profusion of Google Maps mashups. Nifty new navigation and viewing options will be added in due course. The goal, apart from opening up Google Earth, is to bring Earth to the user. You can't help but see Google maps when you surf; now you'll also see Google Earth.

So, if you have any ideas, suggestions or comments toss them by our way.

Let's fly away at http://www.mpelembe.net/google-earth.html
