Google are offering various standalones (I have Google
Earth right here on my primary hard drive) - and, we
ask ourselves, why do they not deliver the content
available via Google Earth via a web-page instead:
Well, probably because:
1. The html code could be hacked to blazes by all and
sundry.
2. Fools like me trust Google (well, partly) and
actually got quite excited
at trying out a "new toy".
Or perhaps:
3. They can do things in a dedicated app that make apps crammed into the
confines of a browser look anemic.
Look at Google Maps, then try Google Earth. Superficially they address
the same need, but in terms of user experience it's night and day.
If Google Maps is the quintessential "Web 2.0" app, Google Earth
portends Web 3.0.
