Beyond Google Earth….the next big thing:

David Samuel’s long piece in Wired, here. The start-up in question, Skybox, aims to be to satellite imagery what Google is to search….the advantage over Google Earth: much more dynamic data streams and an off-the-shelf approach to the technology.

I’m wondering if my colleagues in our own Computational Social Science Department here at Krasnow might be able to use such data–I’m guessing the answer is definitely yes.
