Keep in mind, the designers of this site didn't do this to be practical, they did it to be different. This may be hardly innovative, but it definately has a cool factor to it. I think of it more as a showcase, like a "Hey, look what you can do with QuickTime and Flash."
Fr all those who say this is a gimmick, you aren't looking at the big picture. Panoramic views of locations can be used to advertise and show off venues, hotels, parks, a whole slew of things. The ability to view your vacation spot in full 3d from your home. the opportunities are endless man, just really think about it...

looks kinda cool but too hard to navigate to be practical. the text was a little pixelated and hard to read on my screen too.

Total $hit!!! I have a 20inch LCD and I can't even make out what any of the stuff on the sight says in 360 degree view....just total $hit!

I agree with jeepy. I've got a 20 inch rotated to a full profile and the site began to crawl. Cool looking but very ineffective.
