Launching GlobalMotion

Today we launched GlobalMotion. The press release was just publised at Yahoo!.

One of the many cool things you can do with GlobalMotion is to put maps of your favorite places with geotagged photos on your own blog.

See for example this map of the Bodnath Stupa in Kathmandu, Nepal.

New Google Geo Blog:

This new Google Blog will be relevant to follow as it's closely related to what we are doing at EveryTrail:

Google LatLong: A new world unfolding

The first post explains how Google is seeking to help organize and aggregate the geographic web. What it means for EveryTrail users is that when you upload GPS data and create a trip at EveryTrail, anyone doing a Google local search will be able to find your trip. Cool!

So get started at EveryTrail by creating a free account and signing creating your first trip. And check out the EveryTrail blog to stay up-to-date on the latest developments.

New blogs

Ok... other than the occasional widget I'll show in this blog :), I have moved most of my blogging activities to blog.everytrail.com, and to WhereBase, tracking consumer GPS.
