   Sounds like they are trying to make sure the Ask Local service won’t gain any legs.

   This is great! Earth is becoming the most useful travel tool available. I’d like to see Tripadvisor getting their hotel reviews on there all geocoded with the ability to search for highly rated hotels in a specific area. Good one Google!

   I think google is doing what UN should be doing. Creating a International Earth Database with photographs and day to day activities af all human beings. A Earth Wiki to be precise. What was the subject of Hollywood futuristic flicks a few years back appears to be happening right now in the Web 2.0.

    Isn’t this just a rip-off of http://www.grapheety.com?

    It’s interesting how Google gets credit for coming up with ideas that are already well established.

    Isn’t it amazinghow much things stay the same as they supposedly change ?

    Each of these young upstarts thinks their idea is new , novel and original.

    Add some cash and wealth in the mix and it is the old story ” When you are rich they thingk that you really know something.”

    Its General Motors in the future all over again.

    Denver Wang, works fine on a Mac. Have to get home though before I can try uploading to Panoramio.

    I like those location-centric services more than Panoramio’s photo-centric design. I have been using Rrove to organize my photos with geographical information. Look at this cool map: http://www.rrove.com/set/item/73/us-theme-parks
