flu-gle or fl-oogle?

From World, news that Google is going to send data on flu to the government...

Google will join this winter with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to track flu outbreaks....[Google will monitor] internet searches for flu-related terms and then use that data to create a map of flu-affected areas....the potential to detect influenza outbreaks up to two weeks earlier than traditional surveillance systems and could help health officials respond faster...

Hopefully, my posting this won't throw them off the scent! ;-)
