Trulia, a residential real estate search engine, has incorporated Google Maps Street View into its Web pages, the company said Wednesday.

The combination presents Google's view of a particular property from the road and lets users virtually pivot around to see the surrounding area. It works in the 40 cities where Google has supplied imagery for its Street View service.

It's nothing that couldn't have been done manually before by typing an address into a separate window with the Google view, or likely even with an on-page mashup, but having the curbside vantage readily available is certainly handy, and Google worked with Trulia to integrate the feature, the search giant said.

http://HouseSell.com.au has integrated Streetview into their free property listings. The users can retrieve an IFRAME google link from the official google streetview pages, then paste this into their property listing details.

Very cool! Heres an example of one of the listings:

Look before leaping to short URLs

Fueled by Twitter's rise, services that scrunch Web addresses are taking off. They bring a host of problems, but some are working to fix them.
