According to Yahoo News, Google Inc. is now allowing users of Google Earth software to view You Tube videos that are mapped to specific locations. It will satellite images, maps, terrain and buildings of the world. Since this past may Google earth users have already been able to view contributed photos uploaded to Panoramio, a photo-mapping service that they offer.
According to the article, "Virtual Earth from Microsoft Corp and Yahoo Maps from Yahoo Inc already offer the ability for users to annotate maps with links to Web sites, photos and videos."
Google Inc., however, could speed up the move to link together maps with online videos by letting You Tube creators tag their videos as they upload them. I think that this is a good thing because it allows people from all parts of thew world to communicate even further through the use of video feeds and maps. the possibilities are endless. a person could share a video of a country and those who view the video could get a detailed view of that part of the world. maybe even opening up the possibilities of traveling to these places.
