Google is doing an experiment on mapping searches for “flu” and so probably mapping where there is a flu outbreak in real life. (correlation between flu-searches and real flu)

Check Google Flu Trends (thanks to hyped.nl)

Start following Google Zeitgeist

Check out the rising searches for Switzerland for the last 30 days.
