Not satisfied with Earth and the Moon, Google takes the whole sky. The latest version of Google Earth now includes a planetarium.
The Sky imagery was stitched together from more than one million photographs from scientific and academic sources, including the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, the Palomar Observatory at the California Institute of Technology and the […]
Leave it to Google to tap a YouTube star for a celebrity endorsement that actually makes sense. Matt Harding, famous for a viral video of his goofy dancing around the world, plugs his Google Earth KML file.
Whoever thought up this relevant tie-up should get a raise. It’s a stark contrast against Yahoo wasting money […]

About a month ago BusinessWeek had an article about Google’s ability to launch successful products. I actually missed the article at the time, so I’m just reading it for the first time today.
BusinessWeek’s premise is that Google keeps throwing stuff on the wall and nothing much seems to stick. They’re still relying on search for […]
Yahoo has released their Maps API for commercial use today. This is going to be essential, I think, to making YMaps a serious contende for Google Maps. I’m not quite certain what Google’s commercial use provision is but I believe it has to be paid for. Personally, I prefer Yahoo maps anyway. I’d expect the […]
