Got an email from David Rothschild, the founder of Seero.com, inviting me to take a look at his new web service for combining media content (text, pictures and video) with geographic location. This really isn’t my thing, but what I saw on their website was interesting enough for me to post briefly on it. Basically, you can create a dynamic network KML link on their site, and have it either open in Google Earth or in Google Maps. Each time you add a placemark to the dynamic link, you can embed text, photos, and links to video hosted at Seero; the video can supposedly open in the Google Earth pop-up, but on my system, it opens up in the Firefox browser. Examples include this KML link to a walking tour along the Sierra Nevada / Cascades in the Western US, and a Google Maps interface on the One Man Walking blog, where the placemarks on the map link to blog posts for that location.
There’s more, including apparently the ability to do a live webcast with streaming video, while your current location by GPS is plotted on a Google Maps interface. Like I said, not my thing, so I haven’t delved too deeply into it, but if you’re interested in creating geographic travelogues, it may be worth a look.
