“Live Map” broadcasts global webcams on Google Earth
Thursday 6 July 2006 by Edward.
Drag Google Earth to your area of interest then click on one of the available webcams listed for the area of the globe. You will see, live, the webcam scene, courtesy of Live Map from Geocoder of Argentina. A quick look, for example, at the Charles Bridge in Praha, Czech Republic shows there must be festival going on. It’s a busy spot!
This seems to be another tool to link tourists to your destination.
Roger A. Brooks‘ Rule 3 ‘The Rule of Billboards and Exits’ requires you “Put your bait out on the highway”.

Track Tour de France cyclists in Google Earth
Thursday 6 July 2006 by Edward.
Online tourists can now experience Tour de France in Google Earth as never before. This year, you can trace the routes of the stages, track the race in progress (view via Google Earth).
Roger A. Brooks‘ Rule 19 “The Rule of Selling the Experience” states that ‘Sell the Rapids, not the river.’ Don’t get stuck on promoting your website. Show what there is to see and what there is to do. That’s what visitors will remember most.
