[Ogle Earth] BBC News on Google Earth: David Burden at Converjed has built a dynamic network link that geolocates current stories of my favorite news source, the BBC World News, onto Google Earth (using an RSS feed and the BBC's Backstage API).

[Tech Coast] What's What at Where 2.0: Are the large GIS data vendors like ESRI and Navteq (behind google and mapquest) worried about loosing control of the revenue they generate from their data the same way the RIAA has lost control of the music it produces. For example, I can extract useful data from google maps without breaking the terms and conditions of its API usage agreement or embedding results in my own HTML.

[Starhill.us] starhillindex: While creating your own google maps is a very cool new hack, It will be interesting to see how Keyhole and Google geonotes, gpstracks, and locative media, can be -combined- and -shared- worldwide; and how we'll share -all- attributes geodata layers and media, for any given place: art, media, cultural, social, historical, infrastructure, physical,etc.

 [Kmi.open.ac.uk] My Dog II - Marc Eisenstadt's Home Page Blog at The Open University UK: Jiri and I launched ClustrMaps today with just a small number of invitations (less than 100) to people to use the thumbnail map geolocation hit counter service that you see in the upper right of this blog. The earlier HitMaps had been such a runaway success, with a few thousand users rapidly taking it up and now having logged well over 17 million hits (which is a lotta dots for Jiri’s algorithm to plot), that we had to suspend new registrations and totally re-engineer things.
