earth album alpha - a google maps + flickr mash-up with a side of rails and scriptaculous
Description
Excerpted from the website:
- Browsing through the weblogs this evening, I noticed a gaggle of hits from http://www.laurenceschool.com/page.php?id=13&title=Links, which turns out to be a K-6 school in California. I’m pretty happy about this because it is directly in line with why I built earthalbum to begin with– to give myself and others a fun way to educate ourselves about the world. I honestly didn’t know exactly where Kenya was within Africa, or where Malaysia was within southeast Asia; what’s more, I only had the foggiest notions of what life in those countries looked like. I definitely did not know that Pakistan was so beautiful, or that Norwegians called their own country Norge, or that the temples in Cambodia were real and not simply a set piece from a Tomb Raider movie.
