andygatesI've been wasting my time again. This time, on the big grin that is Google Earth with the photo-localisation layer Panoramio. Here's how it works: you submit a photo to Panoramio and give it a title, caption, and location on the planet. Then, anyone with Google Earth can link to the GE Panoramio layer and see pins on their globe which click to reveal a photo. Or you can use it as a regular album with place marking for stuff like holiday snaps, hiking trails... maybe the Dunwich Dynamo?
What's got my inner geek cackling is turning terrain and 3D buildings on, going somewhere famous, and playing spot-the-landmark. Some of the New York skyline stuff is very eyecatching.
