Cork Star Pupil appears on Google Earth

One bright spark student from St. Angela's College Cork has become the first person to challenge our position as most prolific Google Earth Modellers in Cork City, Ireland. Niamh Shanahan, (who received minimal training from us as part of a work experience week) has produced 3 excellent models (so far) of old shop buildings in Cork. We love the competition. Keep it up Niamh! Check her models out on 3D Warehouse and Google Earth... (Make sure the "3D buildings Layer" is switched on in the left hand side panel.) Learn about the 3D building layer here

Watching Real life on Google Earth

Found this video on Digitalurban.blogspot. Very nice concept indeed. I was just thinking recently how beneficial it would be to have a webcam on a building site to monitor progress on a job. This is taking things a whole lot further.... Some people will not like the idea of being "watched" but as evident in this video, it's possible to make the live information anonymous. Comments very welcome.

Dublin now on Google Earth

We're delighted to see such activity relating to an Irish city on Google Earth. Well done to all contributors to this fine collection of models. Lets have the same thing for Cork! Please let us know who's interested in a coordinated project to get Cork City on GE.
