Keyhole and Google
Nice discussion from John Battelle on Google and Keyhole (the satelite mapping company just bought by Google), including a talk with former Keyhole CEO, John Hanke. Interesting to follow:
* 12 terabytes and growing
* geoblogging - allowing you to fly around Keyhole's data and write about spots of interests ("globemarks"?)
* overlays of real time traffic information
* and more
Mega, mega. Now Microsoft and Yahoo have to turn to a dragrace of global proportions ;-)

As a geek aside, does anyone get the inside joke on the name, "keyhole"?
KH-11 is the official name of the government imaging satellites. Their nickname is Keyhole.
