Tagzania links individual placemarks to Google Earth

Cool! Tagzania has just granted my very own feature request — a link to Google Earth for individual placemarks.

This means that, for example, a place that I've marked on a Google Map via Tagzania is now accessible via Google Maps, Google Earth, MSN Virual Earth, Multimap, Mapquest and as a search in GeoURL. (And you can even paste the placemark, map and all, into any website you like.)

Previously, Tagzania places were only viewable in Google Earth as part of a user's complete set of items for a particular tag or user. Now there is granular control, which makes Tagzania very much the del.icio.us of places. I just keep my places there, tag them, and let the user decide how to view them.

Always nice compliments to Tagzania at this blog... We've decided to offically appoint you Tagzanian Ambassador to Sweden.
