Google Earth is cool. Not just the 3d globe bit, but the concept of how its delivered. The part most people think about is the satellite imagry, but actually its a vehicle for delivering spatially referenced data. Take a look at the available road data for instance. Well now theres a section called "Featured Content" that delivers some pretty interesting information. Like this Chimp data from Jane Goodall's blog.
Or how about information on national parks?
This last one is pretty cool if you're into looking at new places. Its called 'turn here' and they're video tours of areas given by locals. It can be kinda hokey but an interesting concept.
Lastly, check out this map site called breathing earth. Its a simulation of human population and CO2 release.
