An Apple A Day…
7/29/08
For those who have traveled internationally and required (and blindly took) numerous shots before flying, there is now a site that acts as the “Global Disease Alert Map” called HealthMap. On it you can select various health feeds, the latest alerts, alerts by country, and track some big diseases in the past 30 days. The map is a bit crowded but it provides a great means of quickly judging where the highest concentrations of different diseases are. I’d hate to see the concentration of dots near any major campus…
Now as a follow up to my article yesterday on Cuil, well it was not very “cuil” at all. The site kept showing errors for most of the day, and any site that intends to compete with Google better have more servers. For more hilariousness on Cuil, check out my coworkers blog.
