The Google Maps mashup, which shows updates from voters (and anyone else) mapped on a Google Map as they are sent in, providing a real time commentary from the voting public on the election.

While the map obviously wouldnt be that useful if enough people werent using it, and Twitter seems to have the largest audience, it still seems strange that Google would choose not to use its own in-house product. Valleywag seems to think that Google just doesnt care anymore about Jaiku, and might be looking to buy Twitter. The way Google is doing nothing with Jaiku, at least half of that seems pretty accurate.
