Google Sightseeing takes you on tour of the world as seen from satellite, using the free Google Earth program, or Google Maps in your web browser. Each weekday your guides James and Alex present new weird and wonderful sights as suggested by readers.
It’s been said many times that a Google Sightseeing entry was the best ever, but we’ve never quantified just how much better that sight is. Until now!
Regular visitors will notice all entries now have a “Rate this Sight!” star system. Place your vote on past and future entries and we’ll soon know which is the true best. sight. ever.
This form will auto-link URLs or you can use simple HTML, <a href="http://googlesightseeing.com">Like this</a>.
Link to specific places either as a Google Maps page or a decimal latitude and longitude written like this: lat/lng:55.949400,-3.200000.
If you've found an unrelated sight that you think should be posted in its own entry then use the suggestion form!

Karabas, it’s a pisstake of Comic Book Guy from the Simpsons.
Comic Book Guy at Wikipedia:
> “His catchphrase is the declaration “Worst. (Noun). Ever.”, which is usually delivered with slight pauses between each word, or variants with slightly different wording (such as “Worst. Theme Park. Ever.”).”
@Spamboy: Uh, yes I guess it is a bug. Thanks.
Cool thing!
Oh, and it would be cool to have the ability to sort the sights by rating … IMO.
@Al: Once we have a meaningful amount of posts rated we’ll include a listing.
I’m going to fight until I find the post where I recommended the exact same system!
By the way, best post ever.

haha forgot the link. Triple post!
Wow! This is a great feature! Can’t wait to see some stats of that… What does the average Google Sightseeing reader like more? Some interesting facts about a sight on the other side of the world or a 1 pixel breast?
Of course, the current top sight is actually suspected to be topless
