Create And Share Panoramic Images At viewAt
If you’re interested in panoramic photography, viewAt combines a panoramic maker with a Google Maps mashup so you can not only create interactive panoramas but geotag them and share them with the world.
Even if you’re not interested in making panoramic photos, just browsing the viewAt map is a visual treat. The vast majority of user uploaded content is absolutely stunning. The photos you upload can be converted into a cylindrical or spherical panoramic. Cylindrical panoramics are the ones you’re most likely to have already come across, where viewing the photo is like rotating around in a circle viewing a band of the scene before you. 
Spherical panoramics require more photos to be taken, but they create almost a 360 view of scene allowing you to pan up and down as well as left and right to take in everything at the site of the photograph. For more information and a chance to check out some of the spectacular panoramas already hosted by viewAt, check out the link below.

Wow the stupid media has poisoned my mind pretty bad. Did anyone else read "Pandemic" instead of "Panoramic"??
Looks like it got LifeHacked!!

ViewAt has been around for some time now, it really a great way to know places you otherwise wouldn't see :) Check my own panoramas in Portugal if you haven't been there ;)

Is there any reason their mouse controls need to be totally backwards?

Another great free and open source panorama software is Hugin. It works quite well, although it requires a decent bit of work from the user to fine tune the results.

Another website not to be missed is Big Eye In The Sky, which features panoramas shot from helicopters. Check out my hometown -- Deadwood, SD.
