| Well today's fun site use's Google maps in another Twitter sort of way with a little twist. Instead of just for letting people know where you hail from or where you have been in a day. This site will show you if there is any type of sickness being reported in your area. Now currently this site purely relys on folks to submit their information to it. And lets face it if your sick you probably are not going to feel up to typing anything out online. So here is what I suggest. That we take this clever little service and have folks at the doctors offices across the country and the hospitals feed there information into it and we will start to be able to see an accurate forecast of how the folks around us are feeling and how they are doing physically. Imagine if you were thinking of going out to see that next Summer blockbuster at the theatre and the area that theatre is in shows alot of folks with coughs etc. You could make an informed decision to go elsewhere and not take a chance in catching that cold or at the minimum having to put up with folks coughing thru out the show. This scenario might be a little far fetched but I really can see folks harnessing the information out there that is becoming more and more available each day to make informed decisions about even the smallest part of there life because they can. What do you think is this site a silly passing fad or do you think what they are doing has merit and could be of some interest or use to you? Labels: Site of the Day
