I am not sure how interesting this would for this audience, but there is a cool map included anyways.
Gmail had this web clip for me:
One of my friends gmailed me that he was going to India next week. The email was not in English but was transliterated in English (like this Telugu sentence ‘nenu india veluthunnanu‘ means ‘i am going to India’). 
The email doesn’t have the word ‘Bangalore’ in it and I never google searched for cheap tickets. There is no translation engine yet for any of the Indian languages. All that said, Google could still ‘make sense’ of what was going on in the email. But whats a little disappointing is…it didn’t zero-in on the right destination. Bangalore is located in the medium slate blue area in this map, while Telugu is spoken in the region adjacent to it. Both languages have a common ancestor, but Google probably doesn’t use linguistics anyways. Google obviously has a huge corpus of email and web searches to mine things, but as this example shows, thats still not enough statistically. As the corpus grows, one could basically have cheap tickets to anywhere.
wow, cool cool finding
