Virtual Earth Technology: SDK Release use for your website today!

Surrounding this whole Search plan at Microsoft is a plan to link together a whole set of technologies to allow businesses to better communicate and engage with their customers. I have written before about the local Government initiatives that partners like Smartlogic have delivered (The Google Effect...and Doris...we all need one!! ), in this post I am going to highlight Microsoft Virtual Earth and the ways in which Small and Large businesses can use this to refine their engagements with customers.

If you want to have a quick scoot of Virtual Earth in action then have a look here: https://www.johnlscott.com/ there is also a nice video of Virtual Earth 3D in action here: Super Cool Video Highlighting VE3D

Now why do I think this can elaborate on the user experience of a business when engaging with their customers, here are just a few scenarios:

1. - Quite simply – Help customers find you..would this site look better with a little Virtual Earth for when their partners and or customers visit their demonstration centre etc: www.risual.com

2. Connect customers to your products – are you a real estate agent or an advertising company selling space at Pop Concerts or Sports Grounds? Would screenshots like the following add colour and stickiness to your online site:

So where do you go from here for more information and to get this cool technology on your website – here’s a great start: https://dev.live.com/virtualearth/sdk/

Any questions please ping me - Enjoy!
