Google Earthing

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!

  1. Thanks a lot Kate!
    Not only am I wasting time Google earthing I somehow managed to register my own blog just so I could post answers at GoogleEarthing.
    How about posting a warning label?
    Exposure to blogs may be infectious to some people. Symptoms include the mysterious evaporation of time.
    When are you posting the first image?

  2. I echo Cal’s sentiments. My productivity plummeted today because of this. Thankfully the fellow is going to slow down posting images. 😉
