Fans of Google Earth will just love geoGreeting - a way to send messages for special occasions using letters spelt out by the shapes of buildings seen from the sky!

All you have to do to compose a message is visit geoGreeting, type in what you want to say - this can, of course, be previewed - and then email the link that appears on the page. 

The recipient needs to have Google Earth installed to view the message but, hopefully, you'll know which of your friends and relatives is running the app.

Here's a link sent today as a birthday greeting. The compose window and final read-message window for that greeting are shown below (click on them for larger images).
