Google and Twitter joined forces to create a geographical based mashup using certain keywords related to Super Tuesday voting.
The app itself is nothing new or fancy, it just used the location field from the twitter user that happens to make some comment about politics and places it on Google Map on the appropriate spot in the world.

Twittervision has the same functionality for twitter’s public timeline and is a popular twitter app for quite some time now.
Politweets has been around for a while and deals exclusively with political chatter on twitter.

What strikes me as odd is why hasn’t Google used it’s recent acquisition Jaiku for this? It definitely would be a small push to revive the dying microblogging platform.

Jaiku users are fleeing in droves to Twitter, mostly due to the lack of activity but some are just seeing their hopes in Google turning Jaiku into a viable Twitter competitor fading to dust.

Is this the final nail in Jaiku’s coffin? Leave your comments
