Google Earthing

Kate | Wednesday, July 6, 2005

Brad Farquhar has created a new blog game - GoogleEarthing.

After playing around with it for a while, I figured we could have some fun with a scavenger-hunt like contest that’ll be a whole lot more interesting than Google Whacking. I’ll post an anonymous image from Google Earth, and the first person to send me the correct longitude and latitude of that location wins an unknown prize of little value, to be chosen by me.

Which is a good thing, because, as God only knows - there aren’t enough ways to waste time on the internet!

I had a game like that while guest-blogging at Wizbang, as well as at my own blog.

It's a fun game.
