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.

The editors: James & Alex

Two New GSS Authors!

Posted by James Turnbull, Tuesday, 30th September 2008

We’re delighted to announce that the Google Sightseeing team now has two new writers!

Ian Brown manages a fair trade retail store in Ottawa, Canada, and says he spends his spare time perusing maps to find new routes to ride on his orange bicycle. Meanwhile John Andresen is resident of the US state of Alabama, a librarian and a writer, who describes himself as a lover of literature and music.

Expect to see exciting new posts from both authors in the coming days, and with two new authors Alex and I will hopefully have more time to develop new features for the site, while maintaining our established regular schedule of weekday posts.

Meanwhile, everybody’s favourite aeroplane fanatic Rob will continue to write for the site, despite being headhunted for the job of news editor by his Student Union.

Please join us in welcoming John and Ian, and congratulating Rob!
