Particularly interesting for game developers who can use it deeply customize maps to fit well into their gaming experience. I am tempted to build a monopoly-like game with the real world up for sale and purchase. And one like Need for Speed with real-world traffic. Even one for amateur marathon runs on countryside terrains.
Oh yes, I also used to make casual games in flash for social platforms like facebook back in 2009. These days it's OpenGL and mobile. The market size is bigger and user experience better. Btw, 5m accounts in three months despite so many launch issues is not bad.
