COMMENTS: Watery Orb
Google Earth landed free publicity for its expansion to cover the world's oceans from both NBC and CBS. CBS treated it as a technology story, with Daniel Sieberg presenting a show-and-tell of the Website's features: "There is even a fish GPS. You can follow creatures that have been tagged." NBC, which tends to cover the environment more heavily than the other newscasts, assigned Anne Thompson, its environmental correspondent to the story. Her focus was less on the ocean's topography and more on the work of the marine ecologists that the site links to. Thompson gave pride of place to the underwater nature photography of Kip Evans.
