Apparently, the models we make in Google Earth now feature a new, pop-up "balloon" design, featuring photos of nearby places and links to what's nearby. Click on a link and it takes you to a second balloon that includes sponsored links (Google Ads).
Missing from the balloons: the link that modelers can include in their models (which still appears on the model's preview page on the 3D Warehouse).
Where this is cross-posted on the Google SketchUp blog, a reader named Felix seems to suggest it would be desirable to reinstate the user-created link, and furthermore allow modelers to capitalize on the balloon by linking their own AdSense accounts to it.
What do you think of the changes and Felix's suggestions?
