Sunrise Earth
Google Earth now has a layer that allows you to see sunrises from various places around the world. You click on the image to open the videos in your web browser (I wish they played directly in Google Earth, but maybe someday...).
I really like this idea of indexing content visually on a map. It's quite backwards from what we used to do -- that is, looking up a place in an encyclopedia and seeing a small map that represents the area. In Google Earth, you explore around and find a place that looks interesting and then learn about it from the various layers you can turn on in the user interface. I'm also fond of the Wikipedia layer (links to the relevant Wikipedia articles about a location) and the Panoramio layer (inline user images of a spot on the map).
