Google Earth Expands To Include News 
By: Scott Van Achte 2008-05-27 Avid users of Google Earth will now find a new layer added to the unique mapping system. Google News has recently been incorporated allowing users to see regional news related to the specific areas they are viewing. For some time now the ability to find geo-tagged photos within Google Earth has been available, and it only makes sense that geographic news stories would also be made integrated into the service. If you are interested in activating the Google News layer "navigate to the "Layers" menu on the left-hand side of Google Earth. Expanding the "Gallery" node in the layers tree will expose the "Google News" layer. Check the box next to the Google News layer and start zooming into the places on the globe in which you're interested. Each story is represented by a Google News icon on the globe. Clicking on the news icon opens up the news story's snippet, along with links to learn more about the event." The launch of the new feature was announced Tuesday morning by Project Manager Brandon Badger on Google's Lat Long Blog.Comments Tag: Google Add to  Del.icio.us |  Digg |  Reddit |  Furl Have a bookmark! -  About the Author: Scott Van Achte is the Senior SEO at StepForth Web Marketing.
