I am looking for partners to help make it better, and translate Uber Weather into as many languages as possible. 

Check out the 14,000 ski lifts and right click for 3D! 

I've been overly busy lately, please allow the delay. Here's the recent Google-related geonews.

From official sources:

From other sources:

• And in the same direction, a great 3D driving simulator that uses the Google Earth plug-in
• APB made me aware of Google's new location-based + Augmented Reality game named Ingress, see its introductory video below. Here's how APB summarizes it:
  • There are two teams: “The Enlightened,” who embrace the power, or “The Resistance,” who fight the power.
  • You get "energy" by visiting real wold paths (like a human PacMan).
  • You go on missions to portals which are associated with real places like libraries, public art and onter public places.
  • There's a tie in to real world vendors and products (Hint Water, Zipcar, Jamba Juice and Chrome apparel and messenger bags).
