Google brought a rich database of information to Google Maps in September with Place Pages, and now those detailed results on businesses and points of interest are available in Google Earth as well. To access the Place Page for a particular place, just click the "View more information" link at the bottom of the summary overlay that pops up when you click on a business or place of interest.

It's a sensible integration that brings Google's rich collection of place information to browsing the globe in 3D. Although it lacks the same level of social commentary afforded by the similarly oriented Yelp, Place Pages focus on collecting detailed information about a place including a description, photos and videos, nearby transit options, related Web sites and reviews.

If you're a fan of Google Earth, it just got easier to gather even more information about cities, landmarks, neighborhoods, shops and other points of interest around the world. Have you had a chance to check out Place Pages from within Google Earth yet? Let us know if you discover everything new and interesting.
