FW: Frapper.. another sweet Google Mashup for Social Networking
Frapper.. another sweet Google Mashup for Social Networking
GISuser.com posted a photo:
Today I stumbled onto another sweet Google mashup... Frapper
(http://www.risingconcepts.com/frapper/) What a cool mashup! The idea is
a friends + mapper site that results in a frapper group. This concept
takes social networking to a new level, enabling users to create a new
group (aka. frapper) allow people to join and then they can shout out!
Check it out, it's very cool. I've created the GISuser frapper.. feel
free to sign up and shout out. See

FW: Subscribe to free, del.icio.us video in iTunes
From the MAKE blog:
Lifehacker has a nice HOW-TO on subscribing to del.icio.us feeds (a bookmark service of sorts) and getting videos in iTunes. The music and videos download automatically to iTunes, like a podcast would. The latest version of iTunes has better video support, so if you're up for some random videos or want to have something specially download here's how... [via] Link. I have a couple in our links, but I'll try and add more soon now that's more people can likely download content.

FW: glenwood canyon
satosphere posted a photo:
The glenwood canyon, as seen through the famed California Zephy. One of the prime examples of the ruggedness that cannot be experienced in any other mode of transportation.
The route from glenwood springs, eastward, snakes through the mountains along the glenwood canyon, formed by the colorado river. Both I-70 and the transcontinental railroad share this narrow canyon as it winds its way through the dry mountains. The railroad here literally hugs to the cliff side for most of the way through sharp turns and occasional tunnels.
Just to sample this breathtaking journey, just fire up Google Earth, turn terrain on and open this file. Play the direction to experience perhaps a part of what you actually get going in a train.
Here is a prime example of how the canyon looks: brown river, the interstate on the opposite side shelved between the river and the steep cliffs, the dry mountains topped by a breathtaking mid-day sky.

FW: bushfire 2005
wiccked posted a photo:
The fire was in the land bordered in red. I only went to the side along the bottom so I'm not sure how far it extended "around the corner". There is a scout hut at the end of the wedge where some of the firemen were hanging around, and it did't seem to have gone into the bush to the right. There's a small creek (probably dry) there, that may have just formed enough of a break.

FW: upcoming in Google Earth
Catt Family posted a photo:
As well as Flickr, notes and other stuff added directly by the user, geobloggers also trawls the API of del.icio.us and upcoming. Quietly adding that information to it's database. And because it's in the geobloggers database at can be viewed via the geobloggers main site, or queried via the API and feeds.
The locations are geocoded from just the zipcode. So you can use geobloggers to find events near you or in a specific area, just not the exact location.
Here's the Google Earth network link that'll find newest Upcoming Events...
Google Earth Upcoming
(Nearest coming soon)
Geocoding from street number, name and zipcode is too API intensive at the moment, i.e. I'd have to depend on another service from another website and geobloggers is already a web of service consumption, aggregating and feeds.
