deepearth Go here. I’ll wait.

You back?

Now tell me again how uncool all that Microsoft stuff is. Seriously.

DeepEarth is one of the most amazing things I’ve seen in a long time. I blogged about it on Channel 10 and one of the commenters pointed me to http://silverlight.idvsolutions.com which shows off DeepEarth in even a more incredible fashion than the original link I had posted.

DeepEarth came into existence thanks to an open source community effort that was meant to be a learning experience for the participants as to how to use the DeepZoom feature in Silverlight. Combine that with Virtual Earth and it’s pretty much insane.
