Googleffiti

Dr. Joseph Voros of Swinburne University's Strategic Foresight program offers the following gem:

I was sitting here thinking about what to call things written for the purposes of being seen by Google Earth -- graffiti for Google, as it were, when it hit me:

Googleffiti, GOOG-le-FI-ti, n, pictures, words, symbols or glyphs created expressly for the purpose of being seen from space-based imaging devices and visible to anyone through Google Earth.

This is an example:

53 32'19.50"N, 1 20'49.22"W

Note the pronunciation: not Google - ffIti, but GOOG-le-FI-ti.
