This site is so cool. It taps into the Google Street View database to show you random pictures from all over the world - I just saw one from Antarctica - and it is quite a feeling. In some ways this feels better than Google Earth, although Google Earth is an experience of its own.
You hit the N key on your keyboard and the next picture shows up, and next, and next.
You can view pictures by continent or country. Not all countries are available yet, but that's okay. I will wait.
And there is the obligatory slideshow option. And, of course, full screen mode.
Bon Voyage.

TechCrunch: Google To Facebook: You Can’t Import Our User Data Without ReciprocityThe use of the word data by Google here is key. That further confirms the point I have been making at this blog over months. Social is not in Google's DNA. Google does data, Google does information, Google does not do social. When it goes into local and location, it is hung up on data.
Leave Costa Rica Alone

Search Engine Land: Nicaragua Raids Costa Rica, Blames Google MapsAs of recent I have been thinking in terms of Costa Rica as the country where to have the pilot project for my microfinance tech startup. A member of the exploratory team suggested a small, central American country might be a good idea. And so I have been mulling over the name.
