Earth Time

October 27, 2011 11:12 PM

Google Earth Clock is a digital clock assembled from views of the planet that resemble numbers. (Not for the vertiginous; requires the Google Earth plugin).

For webmasters, Google Earth has also been integrated into the real-time datastream of Google Analytics: now even web geeks can feel like they are in their very own thriller movie as the virtual globe spins to pinpoint the location of their latest site visitor.

Now I have more motivation than ever before to build my future house in the shape of the number "5."

That's pretty cool and all, but I can only get one or two numbers to ever load. Right now, it's blank-blank-blank-2-1.

OK, it's working now. Very neat. It even keeps up with the real time and swaps out the more constant numbers just to keep it interesting.

Cool! But it's the first ever clock to make me feel nauseated.
