Just made the app more general. If you want to use another feed, then use the Add Network Link option in Google Earth, and paste in this URL, changing the URL parameter for your feed of choice (RSS/RDF/ATOM).
http://www.converj.com/cgi-bin/newsbot/newsglobe.pl?url=http://today.reuters .com/rss/worldNews/ You can add as many network links as you want, each showing a different feed, and have them all on the globe the same time. The app worked a dream last night when I was watching the BBC news about the US airbase in Kyrgyzstan, complete with swooping globe map. Fired up GoogleEarth and NewsGlobe, saw the story already marked, followed almost the same video swoop and then just had to hunt around to find the airbase (I need the next level of gazetteer!) Speaking of which anybody know a good, free web service gazetteer for lat/long? David Eur. Ing.
