looking nice, and the idea is fantastic but it seems the "nice" URLs are not working for the places i tried in Finland (or if they are, it's not obvious how to get them!)
Search for a place. If there's a "more info" link in left-hand side then there's a Place Page for it. Click that and it will take you to the Place Page. Then click on the thing saying "Link" on the right-hand side and you'll get the link.
thanks @adewale, missed it, as i was expecting it to be in the block on the left (just under the name) along with the "directions, search nearby" links. With this information in hand the feature now makes MUCH more sense!

This is awesome. I'm just doing random searches for some of my favourite places and hitting "more info" to see things like this: http://maps.google.co.uk/maps/place?cid=17011350819492770010&q=canary%2Bwharf and this: http://maps.google.co.uk/places/fr/paris/rue-michel-le-comte/34/-sofitel-paris-la-defense-centre
