Aside from Everyscape there is another startup called MapJack.com that is introducing the same concept of technology. With the sprouting of these kind of online services, it's too easy for users to utilize whichever is comfortable to them. It is so cool to think of the advancement of mapping technology at present.

Some combination of traditional local search and 3D immersive technologies is the future. Traditional local searches are great for recovery seraches. But 3D immersive maps allow for local discovery. Location, visual references and easy navigation improves the local search process. Putting users in a setting that mimic the real world and letting them explore a neighborhood creates more value. There will always be a place for traditional local search but new innovations will make for a better overall experience. Thanks for mentioning UpNext, we appreciate the reference.

Those 3d sites are staring to pop up and do show potential. I am excited to see how search results evolve out of the standard 10 to 20 blue links, 3D modeling seems like a step in that direction.
