Google Earth and Google Maps have given us a whole new way to express ourselves using their satellite imagery. People are going crazy showing us their art, graffiti, and advertising from the bird's eye view. I wonder how long it will take before somebody figures out the photographic path and schedule of the satellites. Just think how much graffiti some young, punk, geek could do if he knew when and where the next picture was being taken. Want to make a bet on when the first wedding proposal happens? How can she say "no" to such geekiness?
See Target's new form of advertising here. See modern day tagging with profanity here. Recently I got in on the craze and put a little advertisement for QAInsight.net on the roof of my house (see blog post picture).
Google has an awesome technology here, but let's kick it up one more notch. Here's my challenge to you Google:
- Allow registration of land coordinates to the land owner. Require meta-data input such as address, URL, rent or own. Lease city and utility meta-data to corporations: cable, phone, public sewer, FIOS, etc...
- Allow people to click on registered coordinates. Clicking directs the user to URL specified by land owner.
- Allow the meta-data to be searched and graphed. Imagine the power for house buying, rental search, track the creeping FIOS installation across town...
