Hi Beryl,
I've been trying to contact you trough the official forum for '3D Modeling for Google Earth & Maps', but managed to find your email, trough this discussion.
I hope that you don't feel like I'm intruding.
I'm an art and design student researching the drastic changes happening to SketchUp, the 3D Warehouse and Google Earth over the past two years.
I started a discussion on the official forum, trying to find modelers who would like to share their experiences, but I'm also trying to contact modelers directly. Currently I'm in contact with Kieth Lurie and Matthias Bassler, who both have been active members of the community. I'm contacting you because of your devotion and massive contribution to the platforms.
Would you like to talk about your contribution to the platforms? I'm interested in the investments you made in building up the platforms, what you 'earned' from being a contributor and how you see yourself as a modeler in relation to the provider who makes the platform possible. Furthermore I'm interested in what kind of future scenario you would like to see for the modelers, deemed that the changes applied to Google Earth is replacing contributions made by modelers with auto-generated content.
I sincerely hope that you would like to share. Feel free to reply in any way.
All the best,
