Set up by two former Google employees, it used remote sensing and other cartographic techniques to map every field in America (all 25m of them) and superimpose on that all the climate information that it could find.

using online review sites. A recent study by researchers at the University of Michigan says 25 percent of Americans now look online for doctor reviews before making an appointment.
There are now 40 to 50 doctor-review sites for patients to choose from, the biggest among them being Healthgrades, Ratemds and Vitals.
Also, general review sites such as Yelp also offer ratings for medical practices and specific physicians. It gets better.
And doctors sometimes simply must give patients bad news. Some doctors believe bad news in the exam room can cause bad feelings that turn into bad reviews on sites like Healthgrades. com

#When Google got flu wrong When influenza hit early and hard in the United states this year,
A comparison with traditional surveillance data showed that Google Flu Trends, which estimates prevalence from flu-related Internet searches,

and on social media proliferate, the episode is a reminder that they will complement, but not substitute for, traditional epidemiological surveillance networks."
The mother of these new systems is launched Google s in 2008. Based on research by Google and the CDC, it relies on data mining records of flu-related search terms entered in Google s search engine,
