Mentioned a month ago, both the GEB and OE informs us that 360Cities 3D panoramas are now a default layer in Google Earth. From the GEB: "The new 360Cities layer contains placemarks to nearly 10,000 full 360 degree panoramas which are viewable inside Google Earth. Here's what 360Cities' Jeffrey Martin has to say about being included as a Google Earth layer:
"This ranks at the top of 360cities' achievements to date. It brings our beautiful content to a whole new audience and it serves as a great showcase for VR photography, which is starting to get the attention it deserves. It's a real honor.""

From the Ogle Earth blog : "This past week, georeferenced panorama photo site 360Cities rolled out a site-wide upgrade and redesign. The experience — both for viewers and panorama publishers — is now much improved. The single biggest change, in my mind, is that panoramas are now served in a multiresolution format using the much-lauded KRPano engine. Just as with Google Earth satellite imagery, as you zoom in on a panorama, the resolution of the image automatically increases. This is a big deal — it makes the experience much faster without sacrificing detail."
