YouTube Videos on Google Maps

One good thing about Google buying YouTube is the seemless integration with different applications. One new, interesting mashup is being able to see YouTube videos on Google maps.

If you enable the “YouTube Mapplet” plugin (just one click), you have the ablility to see markers all over the world with a corresponding YouTube video. Click the little green marker and a mini version of the video appears right on the map. You can watch the small version right there, or, of course, click through to the original YouTube page.

One nice feature is that you can search either geographically by the markers on the map, or you can click on a video preview on the left side and Google maps will take you to the location on the map.

As another way to search and find videos is added, that makes one more way to get your vlog out there to be discovered.

Get the YouTube Mapplet Plugin (click the “Add it to Map”s button)
