Google has filled a whole in its blog catalgue, adding a new Geo blog to keep users abreast of developments and changes to Google Earth, Maps, Local and the APIs available for Google's mapping services.
The new blog is called [Google Lat Long][3] and Google Earth and Maps Director John Hanke has [kicked off the blog][4] with post highlighting some recent developments in what he terms the "Geoweb."
Interestingly, the blog's tagline refers the "News and Notes from the Google Earth and Maps Team." The singular "team" seems to indicate the Google is bringing the previously separate parts of its geo services under a single umbrella, which, one like to hope, could lead to greater compatibility and overlap between the services.
As Henke writes in the blog's inaugural post, the Geoweb, for lack of a better term, is just about ready for prime time, "the tools are becoming more powerful, more accessible, and more interrelated."
Also note that Google Earth was recently updated with new beta build of version 4.1.
