Access Google Earth Via Video Podcast
It’s Ogle Earth again, this time with a very cool tour of a few spots in Google Earth that you access from within a video podcast. All it is, really, is KML links embedded in a podcast, but it’s a very nice proof of concept. Watch the podcast, click the links as they come up, and you’re automatically flown within Google Earth to the locations in question. You can do this from within Google Earth’s own Web browser, apparently, which would be extra useful — although I couldn’t manage to get the links to work on my PC, for some reason, and on my Mac I couldn’t get the GEarth Web browser to come up, so I haven’t actually looked at it this way, only from Firefox. But it works fine that way, and opens up some very cool new multi-media possibilities. I look forward to more.

The Mac version doesn’t have a built-in browser yet. And I’m not sure either what the prerequisites are for getting this to work from within GE’s built in browser in Windows, just that it worked when I tried it on mine. It possibly depends on what version of Quicktime, etc…

That explains why I couldn’t get it to come up then! Anyway, nice stuff.
