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.

A new upgrade to gINT geotechnical and geoenvironmental software lets users publish boreholes to Google Earth, Google’s satellite imagery–based mapping product. The version 8.2 upgrade enables users to specify an icon, color, label, and description to associate with the borehole via an easy-to-use Google Earth Setup dialog in gINT. When the borehole icon on the Google Earth map is clicked by a viewer, a user-designed description will appear in a popup window. The window can also contain links to any type of file, including images and PDFs displaying the boring log, enabling users to visually provide a substantial amount of information for each borehole.
