I tried shpescape.com but it didn't seem to work too well for me. A better bet IMHO is available at http://fwtools.maptools.org/ - which provides ogr2ogr.exe (look in the FWTools package). This lets you do the transformation on your own computer. I've transformed a number of Census 2010 polygons (e.g., the polygons for the block groups for Monroe County, New York and the points for the block group centroids for the entire state) from *shp to *kml with little difficulty. Ogr2ogr works better than ArcGIS 9.3 as well for the transformation, IMHO. Good Luck!
