Music for kids who can’t read good

Music for people who cant read good does this neat series called “Commercial Watch”. It’s a great way to check out new music or to see how some of your favorite music has been put to use in commercials. For example, one of my favorite bands, Broken Social Scene and Cadbury Favorites! You can’t go wrong with this mix!

Using Google to Track the Flu

It’s flu season, so get ready! The fine people at Google.org, (not com) are concerned for your health and decided to create Google Flu Trends. This is a great idea that uses Google Trends to search Google’s database of queries specific to flu-related terms. With so many people resorting to online medical help, Google Flu Trends claims to be very accurate, and in some cases, they can detect new trends of the flu before sources like the CDC. According to Miguel Helft’s New York Times article, this idea is not new and is actually the same concept used by the CDC and other disease-related organizations; however, Google Flu Trends appears to be the first public project that uses the powerful database of a search engine to track a disease. Oh how we love Cyberspace!

Street with a View

“Street with a view introduces fiction, both subtle and spectacular, into the doppelganger world of Google Street View.”
