Google Dino 2010
If goog wants to be the new ms then I guess it's inevitable the product zealotry and serving greater human needs thing comes into being a product manager within the monolith. As always though, startup or portal I'll cheer localised (ie non-US) information. I better check what it covers Aussiewise - any1 used it yet ? Anyway, some basic scraping adds a neat layer to this Google Earth of ours :
Google Blog : "The new Geographic Web layer we released today is one of those features. We've taken the rich data of Wikipedia, Panoramio, and the Google Earth Community and made a browsable layer in Google Earth. Now you can fly anywhere in the world and see what people have written about it, photographed, or posted. I went hopping around from the southern tip of South America to the mosques in the Middle East to the Maldives Islands, immersed in a wealth of information, and I really felt like I was visiting each place through eyes of people who had been there. It was really engaging to compare, say, the Grand Canyon through the photos in Panoramio to the view from Google Earth, where I could follow the Colorado River through each."
