Google has extended its flu trends to another 16 countries to include almost all Europe. Attention: they are not talking about the swine flu; Google is talking about flu in general which affects millions of people around the globe each year. This is a project from Google.org, and now the website is obtainable in no less than 37 languages.
The flu is a most important concern for all the people in the world, and last year in November Google has decided to initiate the Google Flu Trends in the US thanks to an algorithm that tracks the fame of search queries and estimates the flu level in almost real-time. The Google Flu Trends tool is incredibly accurate as it had a “0.92 correlation with official US flu data.”
After enjoying a huge hit with the US Google Flu Trends and seeing the swine flu explode in Mexico and Australia, the search giant decided to spread out their coverage to the aforementioned countries and New Zealand. If you want to know more about the Google Flu Trends then please take a look at the video below the post especially made by Google.
