How to verify images like a pro with Google Earth by Jenni Sargent.
From the post:
Google Earth offers much more than just satellite images. Find out how features like historical imagery, 3D buildings and measurement markers can help you confirm the exact location of an eyewitness photo or video.
Jenni has collected a number of guides and tips for you to make effective use of Google Earth as a verification tool.
Link rot mandates that you check links to verified images but a very useful tool to build up a collection of verified images for later inclusion in subject specific topic maps.
For example, you remember the Charlie Hebdo images showing all the government types as though they were standing in public? And later you saw the images proving that was a fraud? That gathering was on a separate street cleared of all others.
Problem is you are on deadline and can’t seem to pull of the image proving the fraud.
Multiple that by the number of times every day that you almost remember a resource but can’t seem to find the right resource.
The delivered content might not be in topic map syntax, after all the user wants the information, not a lesson on how it was delivered.
Something to consider.
