More on Google
May 1st, 2008In connection to Maria’s post today about Google Earth, I also have a weakness for looking up places. You can really get sucked in, exploring areas, finding your childhood home, etc. Also on Google Maps (speaking of, something I only recently tried out because it’s not up and running in St. Louis - have you used the Street View option yet? It’s crazy! Click here and try it on the Art Institute of Chicago).
I’m glad to see Google Earth is updated with our current buildings at the Contemporary and the Pulitzer - I think the last time I checked us out on Google maps, it showed the Contemporary still under construction! It’s fun to look at Joe from that view….awhile ago, I wrote a post about Twain downtown too, which is pretty interesting to view from that angle as well. Take a look here.
What’s really cool is that google maps has just added a “more” button that brings up geotagged photos from panoramio (google earth ties to this as well), youtube and even wikipedia!
Whoa…thanks for the heads up! I might just have to play around with this and write a little update about it soon…
