I introduced you to Healthmap back in October and it was instantly one of my favorite maps mashups. It's co-creator Clark Freifeld dropped me a line to let me know that it has undergone an update. The mashup still mashes up with a data sources including ProMED-Mail, the World Health Organization, EuroSurveillance and Google News and now includes finer-grained locations in the US,
Canada, UK, China, Australia and India, with more to come. There is also a new
Heat Index algorithm indicating where the current hotspots are. Take a look at my earlier post about Healthmap to learn more about it.
GlobalIncidentMap.com is a global display of terrorism and other suspicious events
GlobalIncidentMap is a Google Maps mashup that will keep you up to date on the current state of terrorism all over the world. A world map displays icons of various reported incidents and activity (I'm not sure I'm a big fan of the blinking map markers). Clicking on any of these icons will bring you to an "event detail" page containing a closer zoomed in map, event summary and description. On this page you'll also find a link to a current news report about the event. The front page also features a list of the most recent 25 events, and types of incidents grouped together.

Global Incident Map - Southern India has a blinking marker indicating "2 killed 30 injured in J&K grenade attack". J&K is Jammu and Kashmir which is way up in Northern India. So the marker location is wrong.
Google is amazing. I recently put a code (Google) for translation into my English blog,( several languages are available). It's funny to see how that works.
Global Incident Map- Virginia, US has a marker that when you move the mouse over it indicates that it's the United Kingdom. That doesn't make me take this site seriously.
