Now that is one sick idea!

Another chapter in our continuing series of new ideas in social computing. Again like Twittervision it's courtesy of a Google Maps mash up.

This week's tip for the top is Who is sick. Users can post details of their afflictions and their location so you can see what you're going to catch in advance.

Is it a work of genius, a resource for employers to predict future attendance levels, a brilliant way to justify throwing a sickie or just this week's blogging fad. Quite frankly who knows but London looks like a very healthy city to be in at the moment....with the exception of the poor woman near Kingston who has a heavy cold

A truly silly find Matt.. but quite an accurate one, lots of illness in and around the Nottingham area which has been reflected in the attendance at work! Just goes to show how quickly mashing technology is moving, not sure this one will be the next big thing for recruitment
