Google Earth To Embed YouTube Videos

News from PCPro is that Google are going to embed Youtube videos against geographical locations in Google Earth .

Now that's way cool and will be something to make me redownload it.

Now, is this another reason why eretailers should be leveraging YouTube as a marketing method?

You could have featured reviews of Rome by RomeHolidays.com, or sample video tours and the Rossetta language thingy sponsoring clips? The opportunities are endless.

But why are Google doing it? Michael Jones, chief technologist for Google Earth explains:

"Our vision here is all about the sense of place. Photos show the local view, but videos add the sense of life. The combination of Earth's 'where' with YouTube's 'what' makes the combined experience that much more complete and compelling."

I'm going a Youtube spotting!
