How to upload my home to google earth?

Q. i have designed my home by google sketchup 3d now tell me step by step how can i upload it to google earth.
BTW i live in india.
thanks, i'll be waiting Jim.

A. Please keep in mind I do not have Google Sketchup but I have done some research on it.

Open the model you'd like to upload
Select File > 3D Warehouse > Share Model
Then you will be asked to sign in to google if you are not already signed in
Fill in the 'title' field
Fill in the 'description' field
Fill in the 'tags' field
Fill in the 'address' field (optional)

Select the Google Earth Ready check box (optional) use this if
your model is Geo located.
Click on the Upload button to upload
Your model will be uploaded to Google Warehouse and will be
reviewed by someone at Google to make sure it is correct and
Google ready. Then it may take 5 hours or up a week for this review
process to take place.
I think then you have Google earth open to your location and in Sketchup open model and select > Place Model from menu and drag model to Google earth where you want it to be and position it correctly and it's there. But that may just do it in your google earth
I was also reading that when you fill out the form when you uploaded model to warehouse that Google places it for you.

Is there a program similar to Google Earth but live?
Q. I know it would be really expensive, but is there a program similar to Google Earth that allows you to see Earth near-live-time? Like every couple minutes?

A. nope you would need access to a global network of spy satellites for that to be even remotely a reality. not even google has that much spy power yet. check again in a few years and they probably will have though

do I need wireless internet on the i pod touch?
Q. I was thinking about buying the i pod touch and was wondering if i need wireless internet for some apps such as Google Earth, live radio, maps or find my car. Do most apps need wireless internet if those require it?

A. I have a ipod touch and yes most of them do like myspace twitter and urbanspoon but there are still apps that you dont need for but if you live in a heavily populated area there are places you can get it for free like starbucks. A app i really enjoy is WifiTrak. It finds wifi for you and its free! I love my ipod touch and I think you should get one too. Hope that helps you!
