Following on from yesterday, 2 Google Maps stories in 2 days as another slashdot contributor has identified that sensitive nuclear locations are blurred within Google Maps (and also Google Earth).The nuclear locations are appearing as pixelated (example), and I do wonder who has asked for this to be done - are these US Government defined 'sensitive' locations? If so, can we expect the same to happen to Sellafield?
Google have also been busy on the video front in the last couple of days, announcing that contributors to their recently acquired video site YouTube will get a cut of the advertising revenue share for viewings of their clips.No more details yet on how this will work, but the principle is being put in place (from the same BBC article):
YouTube founder Chad Hurley confirmed to the BBC that his team was working on a revenue-sharing mechanism that would "reward creativity".Intriguing development in paid for User Generated Content.
