Google buys Panoramio

It is always nice when you give someone your famous recipe, and they make something that is much better based on that recipe. That's where you get the real good recipes. Google must have thought the same thing. Ever since the introduction of maps and earth, lots of little startups started building stuff on top off google's programs. So did Spanish Panoramio. They offer image hosting for photographers with location built on google earth. Google has just anounced it is buying Panoramio. A nice addition to the google family, I believe.

"Panoramio has been working with Google to incorporate Panoramio photos into Google Earth for some time. We believed a deeper relationship would add value to the Panoramio experience for our users." ((901 AM)
