googleがsketchupを買収

今でもgoogle earthにsketchupプラグインがあるけれどもgoogleが3Dマッピング・ツールsuketchupを買収したことでgoogle earthとsketchupのさらなるインテグレーションが期待されている。

Google's resources will allow us to serve our current users better, and Google's reach will allow us to expose more people to SketchUp in one year than we could have touched in ten years on our own. "3D for Everyone" is becoming a reality; we're bringing the '3D' part; Google's contributing the 'Everyone.'
