Is there anyone in the Denver area who would like to mentor teenagers on this topic. Arts Street is a creative job training program for youth and we are excited about this technology.

another alternative, for more relevant selection:
with Google Earth 4.2, it is also possible to open .kmz files containing videos about specific topics.
As an example, here are some videos about world capitals: http://www.VeniVidiWiki.eu/kmz/Capitals-V1.0.kmz that I collected from the Wiki.

Kind of similar to what http://www.citypixel.com has done. They allow you to integrate YouTube videos into different parts of the city. Pretty cool though!

You might want to check out William Gibson’s latest novel, SPOOK COUNTRY. The story goes to some very interesting places–no surprise with a Gibson book–but the starting point for it all is a woman who takes a journalism assignment and begins researching a new form of virtual art, “locative art,” which is tied to specific places and is visible only at those places via a virtual reality head-set.

It’s an interesting reverse twist on the speculative last paragraph of your piece.

a similar tool already exists since March, on top of google maps
in addition, the videos are selected according to minimum quality/relevance

http://www.VeniVidiWiki.eu
(meaning: I came, I saw, .. I share !)

points of interest are classified in 50 categories (capitals, events, natural/cultural places, outdoors activities …)
it can show videos from youtube, dailymotion, google video, turnhere …

This reminded me of what this website http://www.oggtours.com/ is trying to do with audio tours of areas. Essentially applying audio information about various locales.

I think this is one more move closer to ‘local’ for Google. Google is aiming to use this to provide local video advertising. Local video ads are currently being dominated by IYPs. The local video ad production market is led by Turnhere and GlobeShooter

There is a mashup (http://mappeo.net) that does something similar on the browser, it integrates google-maps with youtube geotagged videos.
You can zoom in and out and filter specific keywords.

I love how the Vietnam Business Portal comes up as the first related website to TC in the Alexa toolbar. This is why I use IE.

This is fantastic. I have not tired it by the idea, I think, is really good. I like it. Beyond the technical or business prowess there is the coolness factor. And it is cool.

Kudos to google, a nice way of integrating youtube with one of their services just like Adsense. Must say they do have the most talented people from silicon valley.

Erick, think bigger.

Take off the satellite imagery skin, let folks create their own images to wrap around the globe, and this might be Google’s way to create a Second Life killer. More thoughts here: http://www.socialcustomer.com/.....perim.html

There must be thousands of video tagged with New York or Paris …etc.

How are the videos presented? A drop-down list?

This is why I read TC. Thanks. Sounds like Google did well with YouTube.
