BBC Tracking Swine Flu with Microsoft Virtual Earth
As the number of reported outbreaks of the swine flu and the resulting death toll mounts, organizations are turning to mapping to better visualize and track the impact of the virus. When datapoints are plotted on a map, the big picture view provided makes trends and patterns more clear.
In the case of the BBC, they are using Microsoft Virtual Earth in an application that can be found on their website. The interactive map plots the location of related news around the globe with content in the form of text, video and audio, and from official sources as well as from readers providing eyewitness accounts.

Keep an eye on the site and be safe, please.
