Latest on the list of Amazon's Possibly Insanely Great Inventions is Amazon Yellow Pages. (If the link doesn't work, just go to Amazon and navigate around for it.) You enter an address in the US, and get listings of practically every store around it, broken up by category. But there's more! You also get photos of the actual storefronts.
I have no idea how they make money on this, but this is definitely Possibly Insanely Great.
And, as Martine Page points out, you can use it to virtually walk around your old neighborhood.

The French Yellow Pages have been doing this for five years or so. Actually it only provides photographs for Paris' streets, but it's pretty usuful when you've got to hunt down a flat for rent here.
