Google has launched a new beta service called Follow Your World that allows you to be notified by email when they add new imagery to an area or areas you specify. You could use it to find out when new imagery of your neighborhood is added, or monitor a project site or other interesting area. The folks at GEarth Blog don’t think Google will use the tool to determine what areas to focus on for obtaining new imagery, but you never can tell. [Source: Google Earth Blog.
