FYI, a new version (3.0.0529) of Google Earth is out. You can read about it here and here.

This version has the new "Share with Google Earth Community" option. It allows you to share a placemark by posting it to the BBS. There doesn't appear to be any filtering or warnings to prevent duplicate entries - so the clutter problem will get even worse. Unless you're going to do some filtering of new submittals, I don't like this feature at all.

And, even worse, it uses Internet Explorer only to post instead of your default browser! Egads! You guys need to fix this!
