Google Earth Heading Towards Extinction?

This is FANTASTIC journalism you know. Compare two dissimilar products, and then deduce from the improvement of one, that the other, entirely differently engineered product, is going out the window. Blogs are the new journalism!

You missed the entire point: Google is adding Google Earth features to Google Maps, at the current rate of evolution Google Maps may well become a fully fledged web version of Earth, which makes one of them unnecessary. There’s nothing fantastic about that, or are you suggesting that Google shouldn’t or isn’t making Google Maps more like Earth in it’s feature set?

So you are suggesting that somehow, Google is going to put an OpenGL or DirectX based interface into the browser? Really? I don’t think I missed a point, I think there are a lot of conclusions being drawn from feature iterations.

seriously: awesome news if this is true. I hope they provide API hooks through XMPP payloads as well, as some good ole stateful API programs would be every nice indeed. Death to HTTP polling! FBML pushes through XMPP for the win!

The ultimate twitter revenue is the use of premium SMS to provide for "fanclub" type feeds for some individuals. These would be exclusive feeds with some public messages and some private. For instance, imagine a band X that had a 1 dollar a month Twitter feed. The private 1 dollar a month feed included exclusive information, links to songs, etc. Also another twitter revenue source that can't happen if they don't fix their infrastructure: reselling the infrastructure! Getting good economies of scale with their SMS gateway and reuse from the HTTP and XMPP API's. The premium SMS one I've been hounding Ev and Biz about for a year now. I want it!
