What's it about? Perhaps this story from New Scientist gives us a clue. It discusses a new info service called iEarth that will become available with Google Earth in April.
Called iEarth, the NASA software scours EOS databanks for information and converts it into a file that can be viewed via Google Earth. Choosing a spot on the planet's surface will prompt iEarth to display ground-based measurements for that location, as well as data relating to the atmosphere and space above it.

SkylineGlobe recently expanded the ability to embed LIVE traffic
cameras (via Trafficland.com) on top of aerial imagery for cities in the U.S., Canada, and U.K. Very cool!
