Google Elections: Super Tuesday Map And Twitter Updates
Google's LatLong blog has two posts relevant to today's "Super Tuesday" US presidential primaries. The first is about a Super Tuesday primary map that presents a range of content, including video, on election results -- as Google has in the last couple of primaries. The map also features real-time Twitter updates from people voting or otherwise "out in the field" (screenshot below). This is very much like the real-time map edits viewer feature that Google introduced in late January.

If you're in the US and eligible to vote and haven't already, get out there!
