Google Earth Outreach for Nonprofits at Net Tuesday San Francisco October 9

Personally, I am super excited to announce that the October 9th speaker at Net Tuesday San Francisco will be Steve Miller, Product Manager, Google Earth Outreach.

Ever since I saw the Jane Goodall Institute's Gombe Chimpanzee Geoblog made with Google Earth last fall, I've been excited about the potential for nonprofits to use this tool.

GoogleEarth & the Jane Goodall Institute Create a Geoblog

This is pretty much one of the coolest things I've ever seen online. The Jane Goodall Insitute has created a geoblog with Google Earth, the Gombe Chimpanzee Blog, that allows readers/viewers to view Gombe National Park in Tanzania while they read entries by Emily Wroblewski, a field researcher who is studying the Gombe Chimpanzees. The photo above is a screenshot during my Gombe Flyover Tour.

I can't imagine a more powerful tool for environmental nonprofits and NGOs than to "fly" your supporters and potential supporters over the area of the world you are working in. It is really an awesome experience. It has the color, movement and visual richness of Second Life, but it is First Life, it is our Earth.
