Google Earth -- Now With Geo-Specific YouTube Videos!
Earlier this year, there was speculation about bringing sounds to Google Earth, but the company has gone ahead and leapfrogged that idea and gone straight to integrating full YouTube videos (with sound) right into its mapping application. If you download the latest version and go to the "Featured Content" section, you'll find a new layer called YouTube. Click next to that and you'll start to see little YouTube logos popping up on maps. Click on one and you'll see some sort of footage shot at that location on the map.
Obviously, places like Manhattan are loaded with random videos, but we found vids from the wilderness in Africa and even out in the middle of the Atlantic. Zooming in on far-away places and seeing satellite imagery already made Google Earth one of our favorite applications of all time, but its addition of footage of those far-away places just makes it all the more interesting.
