Jim, could you explain a bit more about what you say?

Sure. This was announced back on Monday afternoon on the official Google SketchUp Blog. The only other mention of it has been on Alex Schreyer's blog; [as]. I've just not seen any other mention of this anywhere online.
These sharing features - the ability to keep models private, share them with selected people, and being able to share a model for editing - give some powerful tools to SketchUp users. One comment about SketchUp that I hear is "I can't believe Google just gives it away", and the same could be said of the model sharing features on the 3D Warehouse.

It's quite odd that Google hasn't pushed this more but maybe they are watching for a while to see how it works... Or they are just implementing this "routinely" now for all their online services... Or - and that's where my earlier comment came from - they are going to make this a major part of SU7 (direct synchronizing and versioning - and maybe other "social" features) and are waiting for an announcement there... Or maybe there's just an innovation-fatigue with Google where people just don't notice all the new features anymore...
