found in class: FlashEarth.com

We were looking at online geographical resources for my online Reference Sources & Services class. (Hmm... my online course is very different than the one posted on the RU site.) Anyway, I surfed around and found FlashEarth which lets you switch between different online map services (Google Maps, Microsoft VE, Yahoo! Maps, Ask.com, Open Layers and NASA Terra). When fully zoomed out, click on NASA Terra to see cloud cover. When zoomed in - especially on a mixed use area that you know has changed recently - click on the different providers and check out which one is most up to date, and look at the differences between the satellite images (Google Maps and the aerial photo maps from Microsoft VE or Ask.com). Cool!
