Phiipp was kind enough and invited me to post a few items to the forum. Regarding MSN's new service. First, they are adding more cities all the time according to the head of Virtual Earth. This is prime flying seson. (no leaves). he told me. My post here (http://blog.searchenginewatch.com/blog/051208-112646) has more comments from the top guy, a list of cities now available, and a couple of example with "birds eye" images including a cool one of Niagra Falls.

Also, word that MS has just added 15 meter imagery for the rest of the entire globe to Virtual Earth or whatever it's called today.

   I also mention another cool service called TerraExlporer for Skyline Software
http://www.skylinesoft.com/corporate/go3d/go3d_te.asp
that does include some virtual tours of London, Paris, and Sydney.

Changing topics. In addition to my work as a librarian, editor of ReourceShelf.com, News Editor of SEW Blog, I also work as editor of DocuTicker. http://www.docuticker.com

It's a daily update of new reports from gov agencies, think tanks, ngo's and more. Instead of writing more here, take a look at these two reviews.
