MAKE on SketchUp/Google Earth for Mac

The folks at MAKE, a big fact how-to-build geeky stuff magazine that appears at my house regularly, found what they call the best of Macworld 2006. Among them, SketchUp for Mac and its newly released beta of a connector to Google Earth. SketchUp is a tool to turn a sketch into a 3D model. (The company made a big splash at the ESRI UC a few years ago with tools to integrate its models into ArcGIS.) The plug-in allows those models to populate Google Earth (Mac support for which was announced yesterday).

I have no arguements; that’s cool stuff - on Mac or otherwise. But, can anyone explain this statement? “Google Earth is really the best location based RSS reader in the world.”
