Isn't Tomnod doing this already (although I don't think they've updated their images to the newest area)?

  Think of the eyeballs Google could add to the project by making it the doodle though

    If Tomnod updates to include the latest areas, couldn't Google just link to Tomnod on their home page? It doesn't make sense to duplicate the effort IMO. Of course, they'd need to talk to Tomnod first to make sure they're ready for that kind of traffic, as it seems they've already had scaling issues, but hopefully this doesn't pose too many problems.

      yeah, taking into consideration this objection https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7414927 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7414927 seems like that might be the neatest solution
