Today I discovered that not only has Google created a video/chat application for Gmail in addition to the regular chat, but it has also released flu trends for the nation.
My PC does not have a camera so I have not had the chance to test out the video chat yet. Let me know what you think. You just have to run the application, and restart your browser. TechCrunch and Mashable both give a brief rundown of the new app.
As far as the Google Flu Trends, I'm not sure if the trends are exactly accurate. According to their Web site, "We've found that certain search terms are good indicators of flu activity. Google Flu Trends uses aggregated Google search data to estimate flu activity in your state up to two weeks faster than traditional flu surveillance systems."
Who knows. I've been pleased with Gchat and Google searches for news, etc. This leads me to ponder, "What's next?"
