Maybe – but I wonder where all the oblique imagery would be coming from? There are only so many oblique providers…

Interesting question. User uploads. Google’s image databases?

Crowdsourcing is Cheap
Winer: “[Crowdsourcing is] cheap, it’s always used by people who want something for nothing”; http://is.gd/Rmn
Google: “Some of us here at Google spend almost all of our time thinking about one thing: How do we create a three-dimensional model of every built structure on Earth? How do we make sure it’s accurate, that it stays current and that it’s useful to everyone who might want to use it? – One of the best ways to get a big project done – and done well – is to open it up to the world. As such, today we’re announcing the launch of Google Building Maker, a fun and simple (and crazy addictive, it turns out) tool for creating buildings for Google Earth. – We like to think of Building Maker as a cross between Google Maps and a gigantic bin of building blocks.”
TC: “While Building Maker is definitely a fun tool, Google gets some benefit out of this. They are crowdsourcing building making to their users, in addition to doing this internally. Google is also crowdsourcing to help update Google Maps, letting users report changes to a particular location, destination or roads.”
RWW: “Overall, this looks like a very smart way for Google to enhance the 3D experience in Google Earth and it will be interesting to see if Google will also build more services on top of these 3D-rendered cities at a later point.”
