Google+Twitter=Extra Super Tuesday
Check out this Super Twitter Tuesday Google Map — inspired by the always entertaining Twittervision, The folks at Google worked their map magic to make this Super Tuesday even more super with the addition of real-time updates from Twitter animated over a map of the United States.
From the The Official Google Blog: "We've joined forces with Twitter to give you instant updates on Super Tuesday. Instead of sitting on the sidelines, you can send a simple text message about your voting experience. Huge turnout? Taking too long in line? Did you just vote for the first time? We want it all, if you can keep to 140 characters or less."

Interesting. I wonder why Google chose not to do it with their own Jaiku?
I've been watching the google map all evening.... I really hope to see Google and Twitter do more gadgets like this... there are few places you can get live information about, well, pretty much anything thats going on live. I give this whole project 11 out of 10 stars!

the simple answer to Jamie's question is that Jaiku is a non-starter, simple because "jaiku" is meaningless:

What text needs to be in a tweet to show up on the election map?
Also, the only data is by percentage of the popular vote ... but what matters, at least for Democrats, is the delegate count.
Hey, that's me! :D
Super Twiesday?
