Well this is cool… I mean, now Google Earth is EVEN cooler…

per Google:

Now you can find YouTube videos connected to specific locations right in Google Earth.

…Let’s say you’re jetting off to Paris. Before you go, you can watch the sunset filmed from the top floor of the Eiffel Tower, among other clips of popular spots in the City of Lights.

This past week marks a couple milestones for Google-YouTube synergy: YouTube “video units” are now part of AdSense, and geotagged YouTube videos are now part of Google Earth. It also moves Google closer to profiting from its monster purchase of YouTube.

Update:

I forgot to mention that Google Maps added Street View to six new cities: Chicago, Portland, Pittsburgh, Phoenix, Tucson and Philadelphia.
