Super Tuesday: Participatory Process via Twitter and Google
As Americans are voting across the nation, Twitter, Twittervision, and Google Maps have combined to create a Google Super Tuesday Map of instant updates. According to 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. (And if candidates can keep their posts to 140 characters, anyone can.)
Google News has also participated today through a special election section.
A special gadget tracks how the candidates in both parties are progressing through the night.

Relevance: It is exciting to watch the power of the participatory process through the world using mobile and web 2.0 technlogies. Maybe next time flickr or utterz could be integrated as well.
