If you're an agent or have a smallish number of listings, I recommend using a company like <a href="http://www.postlets.com/home.php" rel="nofollow">Postlets</a> or <a href="http://www.vflyer.com/main/Guest.jsp" rel="nofollow">vFlyer</a>. If you're a broker or have a large number of listings, I'd hire a software engineer to automatically export your listings directly from the MLS to GoogleBase and <a href="http://www.raincityguide.com/2007/02/10/adventures-in-digital-listing-land/" rel="nofollow">a cast of dozens</a>.

The implementation of the Street View feature rocks even though the image quality isn’t as good as it could be. Jim and Galen have already blogged about the new release, so I’ll avoid repeating what they’ve already said.

I think so. I'm a little fuzzy on what the advantage of maplets is except that it's on Google, they let you use their driving directions and they don't let you mess with the interface. It actually makes me a little nervous - you're giving up a lot of control over your application. Rory, yes. I think so.
