The Earth is Square offers a small but informative entry on DEM resolutions in virtual globes. From the blog: "Most people already know that World Wind's elevation data is far better than what Google Earth uses. What most people don't know is that you can use your own elevation data as well, it is just not that easy to do."

An Inventory of SRTM-DEM Versions 7 comments [+]
I invite everyone to comment and improve this tentative to gather relevant information on SRTM-DEM data and versions. The objective is to build an inventory of the different SRTM-DEM versions. Versions considered are those which (1) do not degrade the spatial resolution of the original dataset and (2) which maintain the original near-global coverage. Read more below.
