Top Ten Google Sightseeing Posts 2009 - Google Sightseeing
1. Top 10 Street Views, April 2009 Following an absolutely massive launch of Street View imagery across Europe in March, one particular image attracted a lot of traffic to the site. It has since been removed from Google Maps, but others from our roundup remain; like the brilliant depiction of British people’s astonishing ability to queue, even in the face of compelling evidence that it’s utterly pointless. 2. Immediately after the European Street View rollout, this post also seemed to attract a lot of traffic. 3. We’re not sure what this post says about Britain and our place-naming methodology, but a lot of people seemed to find something amusing in places called Titty Ho, Crapstone, Sluts Hole Lane, Penistone, Dick Place, Minge Lane and Butt Hole Road. Or was it just us that thought this was hysterical? Earlier this month we also posted a follow-up featuring the Top 10 Rudest Place Names in America, featuring the brilliant Climax, Michigan. 4. Yet more Street View! 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

How Google Earth Works"
Most of us have been using one online mapping program or another for years now. They're a godsend for those of us who get lost within a 3-mile radius of our homes, and they're just plain fun for people who enjoy figuring out where stuff is. With this in mind, imagine how amazing Google Earth must be for it to elicit awe from the online community and cause South Korea to demand changes to the program. Google Earth is no ordinary mapping application. Type "Denver, CO" into the Google Earth search box, and yes, you can learn where Denver, Colo. is in relation to Grand Junction, Colo. and how to get from your address to 1600 Curtis St. in downtown Denver. And you thought the world was small before. The application is fairly easy to use, but there are a lot of functions to try out.
How To Create Shared Collaborative Google Maps - Flock
Advertisement More than ever, the internet has enabled us to work in global and distributed teams. Whether as part of our jobs, voluntary ventures, or joint blogs, working with people around the world has become part of life for many of us. Sometimes, it is so easy that we don’t even know where the people we’re working with are located. Shared, collaborative Google Maps can help solve that issue and improve the perception of proximity by creating a visualization of all the team members’ location. For a great example of Google Maps in action, visit the MakeUseOf Team Members map. Now, let’s see how to create a shared Google Map where each of the team members can locate himself. Set up a collaborative Google map Go to Google Maps and sign in. Add the title and the description of the map, and choose whether it should be Public (shared with everyone and will be published in search results and user profiles) or Unlisted (shared only with selected people who have its URL).

CHAIRMAN MAO’S UNDERGROUND CITY « Viceland.com
In 1969, Chairman Mao commanded the construction of a second Beijing beneath the surface of the original city, designed to accommodate all six million of its then inhabitants, so that if nuclear war did kick off, folk would still have somewhere to hang out and play Mah Jong while the rest of us burnt to death in a shower of atomic rain. War never came, but the city is still there. To be fair to the crazy Chairman, by that time he was lost in the midst of those closing dark days of China’s brutal cultural revolution and the onset of motor neurone disease had shifted his ongoing descent into madness up to warp speed. It’s pretty hard to get down there now, but by a few deft strokes of magical luck, during my last visit to Beijing I got put in touch with a mate of a mate of a person who knew a guy who heard a story of a bloke with a mate who had an access point down into the tunnels built incongruously into the back room of his small house in the centre of the Hutong district of town.

How Google is failing the launch of Google Wave | Bit Rebels - F
It has been a while now since the Google team announced their heavily anticipated new addition to the ever growing Google empire. This time it was a work group related application that was supposed to take us by storm. For a brief moment it actually was as well. But then what happened? The VIP-like invites were almost as legendary as the Moonwalk was when it first hit the public. Everyone wanted one but few actually had access to them. Then Google started giving more and more people the invites and we went from black market trading to friend giveaways. Third stage came and it’s here where something went horribly wrong. I myself got 16 invites and I tried over a period of 2 days to give them out to people if they wanted them Guess what, 5 days later and I still have 14 left. No, somewhere along the line Google missed the opportunity to impress us. Google Wave Fail How is Google Wave going to sustain a large group of people working on a large project for a business related topic.
