Geo-Blogging with the Google Earth API | InsideRIA

With GPS and cellular-network based geolocation available nearly everywhere, geographic information is showing up everywhere that it is applicable; cell phones, web sites, rss feeds, etc... It is the backbone of the "geoweb". There are numerous programs for geo-tagging your data, and you can even geotag your pictures from your iPhone, if you so choose. With the Google Earth API, you can take this information and publish it on an interactive globe for the entire web to see.
