Well, its gone worldwide apparently.. Google Sightseeing has gone from nothing to Waxy in 14 hours. I wonder how the server’s holding up…?

Also currently popular on Del.icio.us!

Damn, this really is a fun game. So fun that we’ve created a whole new blog for it! Check out Google Sightseeing for my latest virtual holiday snaps!

From the comments, James went to all these places:

• Madison Square Garden
• Empire State Building
• Statue of Liberty (I assume that’s the staten island ferry going past).
• The Stratosphere (Vegas)
• Sahara, New York, MGM Grand, Luxor, et. al (Vegas)
• Hoover Dam

From Waxy comes The Burning Man camp, and on a totally unrelated note, this DJ Format video is pure genius :-)

Since Google launched their new addition to Google Maps yesterday, satellite imagery of most of the USA, I’ve been doing a little sightseeing! Its fantastic.

Yesterday I went to see:

• Niagra Falls
• Honalulu (Check out the old volcano too!)
• The Golden Gate Bridge
• The Pentagon
• The Whitehouse (Notice how all the tops of the roofs are blanked out? Ah, gotta protect that national security…)
• Concorde at JFK
• And best of all…The Hollywood Sign

All those links can be zoomed in one level further to get a closer look. Anyone been anywhere else interesting?
