GE Bloggers Have the Earth Covered

June 8, 2007

New high resolution terrain in Google Earth - Grand CanyonFor nearly two years, Stefan Geens of OgleEarth and I have been covering news, content and technologies about Google Earth and related applications. We each have a slightly different slant, and try not to duplicate each other’s content too often. Although we have spoken via VOIP and E-mailed since the summer of 2005, we met fo the first time just a couple of days ago. As you can see from this picture, we pretty much feel like we have the Earth covered. That’s me, Frank Taylor on the left – and Stefan Geens on the right. This photo was taken this afternoon (Thursday June 7th) while attending the ISDE5 conference in Berkeley, California. Thanks to Matt Nolan for taking the photo. And no, I haven’t geotagged the photo or even added GeoRSS to my posts! But, I will be doing that more in the future.

    Glad to see you guys finally got some pictures done. Now that you’ve got the earth covered, what about other planets? I hear places like Mars have high resolution imagery.
