Just in case you missed it, Google Street Views is photographing Knoxville. I missed my opportunity as they have already whipped through my neighborhood at 90 miles per hour. You may still have a chance to put a sign in your yard with your domain name on it. Get famous on Google Earth and Google Maps! How will you pose? Can you moon the Google car?
