Google Flu Trends
It seems that when people get the flu we search for terms associated with this disease and use the search giant to either look for cures, treatments or the like. Anyway, Google has taken note of this and have created their very own Flu Trends in which they have said that there is some correlation between the amount of searches and the amount of people who are feeling the wrath of the flu.
The stats and graphs even go as in depth as featuring different countries, respective regions with the most searches within the chosen country and how the country fared historically. Who knew that the common flu could get geeked up like this? Try the Flu Trends and see if you are part of the statistics or if not what your chances are of becoming one..
