The BBC News Swine Flu Map is a clean, simple illustration of the spread of the almost 100,000 reported cases of swine flu during the recent pandemic. The user can move a slider at the bottom of the map to move forward and back in time, watching yellow circles grow as they represent the number of cases and deaths from the disease. Another option is to let the application run by itself to see the global spread of the disease chronologically. In addition, headlines and key events are highlighted near the bottom of the map.In only slightly related news, the Facebook pandemic hit 250 million users today and celebrated with a great animation.
