What price that roof top

I love it when the analog and digital worlds collide.

What can more analog that advertising painted on rooftops.  You know when you fly into an airport and there is a sign on the roof.  Only flyers would see that.

But Google maps changes all that.

Advertising with Google Maps

So what else could develop

As well as roof art, if you knew when the satellite was passing overhead, you could spell words with deck chair formations in your back yard.

Skateboarders must be scoping all of the candidate pools in their neighbourhoods, for a late night pool draining exercises.

How soon until people buy screens to fool Google maps?  Camouflage nets or even screens that make it look like you live in a million dollar mansion and not that trailer park.

Interesting.
