"Google Earth" has fairly detailed satellite views of most major cities in the US and now, other parts of the world, but the photos are sometimes years old. There is also a NASA site called Worldview that is similar to Google Earth.
Google Maps ( http://maps.google.com/maps?ie=UTF-8&tab=wl ) can also superimpose the satellite images onto the maps. When you pull up a map, select the 'Satellite' tab in the upper right corner of the map.
There is no free web-site where you can go to see yourself in real-time. Even some sites that cost (quite a bit of) money don't have real-time imagery -- just more recent (like 1 week old, or 1 month old) images.

There is no such web site. This is because it takes satellites weeks (at least) to fly over all the spots on earth and take pictures of all of it. Web sites like maps.google.com use pictures that are months or years old.
The only way you could be guaranteed of a "live" satellite shot of your house, would be from a satellite that hovers over the same spot all the time (so it could always see your house). Unfortunately, the laws of physics say that such a satellite would have to be 22,000 miles high--way too far away to get a detailed picture.
Of course, Jack Bauer and Chloe O'Brian never seem to have any trouble getting live satellite photos of terrorists motoring down the freeway; but that's because they have magical powers. :-)

1) There is no such thing as a real-time monitoring satellite. All monitoring satellites are near-real time and take digital photos, not live feeds.
2) There is no satellite that has good enough resolution to be able to let you see yourself. You'd be able to see a blob, but that's as good a resolution as you can hope for.
