UGC Epidemiology

Who Is Sick? is a new Web service that provide a sense of your community’s health by enabling people who live there to share information about the local spread of diseases. You can anonymously post your own sickness information and use the Google Maps interface to search and filter sicknesses by symptoms, sex, age, and, of course, location. It’s also interesting to look at the percentage breakdown of symptoms–like runny nose, cough, or stomach ache–in a particular area.

livejournal meets public health. sharing means caring?

Ongopongo

Ongopongo accepts links to any kind of map. After finding or creating a map, submit a link to the map with a title and short description. Share maps with any kind of content, but please make sure it’s a direct link to at least one map. Some of the best submissions so far have been about a trip with photos and video, favorite places around town, and maps showing locations united by a common theme.

heh, already more shared maps than ms after one day.
