Google Earth Outreach - June 29th, 2007 - When Google Earth was launched two years ago, a different and more accessible perspective of the planet became available to millions of users, presently standing at 250,000,000. At first, it was a place to go to see your house, explore your neighbourhood and maybe see where you went on holiday. But when Hurricane Katrina struck in 2005, a new potential for geospatial information enabling a better understanding emerged. Since then, many non profit organizations contacted us asking questions about how they could integrate Google Earth into their work. Technical help, assistance and inspirational examples were clearly important. We have now launched the Google Earth Outreach program, offering support to non profit organizations, allowing them to provide an extra viewpoint on their work. Please read the Official Google Blog release by program manager Rebecca Moore on this exciting new initiative, which includes a video of the launch. - Thank you, The Google Earth Team

Google purchased the company "Keyhole" in October of 2004.  The famous program was originally called "Earthviewer" but was changed to "Google Earth" shortly afterwards.

The Keyhole Community had about 10,000 members, but very few of there were ever active.  The active members developed a tight "special interest" group which got together daily to show finds, create presentations, and to give each other puzzles.  The Keyhole executives were an active part of this group, trying to post regularly.  Now, with the Google Earth Community having almost 1 million members, the community is almost unmanageable, and the executives don't have any time to play.

Google Earth has been used by many companies and governmental organizations.  One of the more famous times Google Earth was used, was when Hurricane Katrina struck.  President Bush used Google Earth to map evacuation routes.
