Geek: The World(s) of Google

After passing Yahoo and Altavista as the most innovative search engine on the internet, Google has now decided to punk the various online maps. Google Maps allows you to the view the world in either a map format or with actual satellite imagery. Also, the site allows you to pan and zoom throughout the map without any page reloading. Like other sites, Google offers directions between locations but adds a twist by allowing you to search for any hotspot along the way. For example, looking for an Irish Pub while in Charleston? But anyway, I guess this site just comes down to being a glorified glove-compartment-travel-map.

So if you get bored with that, check out Google Moon or Google Earth, both of which are filled with real images courtesy of NASA.
















So that's what Rome looks like..
