David Coallier has an update today on the effort to get PEAR developers all over the world mapped out to a Google map to show their locations - one that's finally been launched.   Over the past weeks we have had many people asking around if it would be possible to have a place to see the pear developers around the world. Well now Christian Weiske and I (With the help of Arnaud Limbourg) have put up a nice little map system on pear.php.net. You can see it at http://pear.php.net/map/   David also links to images of some of the administration panels for the application (one, two, three) and the connection information for a web service (REST) that allows access to all of the data.

(InfoWorld) - Google is partnering with Discovery Networks, the U.S. National Park Service, and others to enrich its Google Earth mapping application with text and multimedia about geographic locations. With its Featured Content for Google Earth, announced Wednesday, Google will provide links to articles, images, blog postings, and videos that inform about topics like the environment, cities, attractions, parks, and landmarks. Other partners include the United Nations Environmental Program and the Jane Goodall Institute. This is the latest in aÂ string of enhancementsÂ for Google Earth, one of the company's most popular products. In recent months, GoogleÂ ported the applicationÂ to Linux and the Mac OS and integrated it with the company's SketchUp 3D design tool. Google Earth's user interface was also overhauled and itsÂ index of images significantly expanded. Google Earth, lauded by users and industry experts, is a free, downloadable application that taps into a massive database of satellite images. Its video game-like interface lets users "fly" around the globe, zooming in and out of cities. Google acquired the software in 2004 when itÂ bought Keyhole. The Google Earth product family also includes more advanced, fee-based versions of the application designed for commercial uses.
