Discovery Communications (they of the Discovery Channel) announced today that their video content would soon be available on Google Earth. (Via Glitchy.) The initial release will offer “informative and engaging video content showcasing 10 of America’s most popular National Parks,” according to Discovery’s press release. “By clicking on Discovery’s globe icon shown at destination sites at which Discovery video content is available, Google Earth users will launch an interactive broadband player hosted by Discovery that will enable them to select from several two- to four-minute compelling videos from Discovery’s rich archive at each target destination.” Nice idea. Nicer idea: Users being able to add their own video links to Google Earth. Is this possible already? Not sure.
