The search giant Google will no longer support properties or real estate listings uploaded to its site on Google Maps and they are taking it off the market on February 10, 2011.

In part due to low usage, the proliferation of excellent property-search tools on real estate websites, and the infrastructure challenge posed by the impending retirement of the Google Base API (used by listing providers to submit listings), we’ve decided to discontinue the real estate feature within Google Maps on February 10, 2011.

Real estate is a huge category and too big to ignore or to realize its full potential online and they will be back soon. Or maybe we can expect an acquisition by Google of one of the large real estate portals in the future.

Here is a video from CNN of the Burj Khalifa opening day.

After it opening celebration which was 5 hours ago, I still see until now real time search results in google for the term Burj.

And  for TLD for Burj Khalifa as well as from free hosted blogs were all taken just after an hour the tower was renamed.
