New: Updated Version of SickCity Realtime Disease Detection

The team who put together SickCity, which launched just three days ago, have already put out an upgraded version of it. This 1.1 version addresses a lot of UI problems that had been noted, makes the pages a bit friendlier on the eye, has a more accurate algorithm for measuring conversation about disease, and addresses a slew of other minor things as well.

Mostly though, in my opinion, it just looks awesome now. Something you would spend a lot more time looking at than the previous version.

God it will be great to get those maps actually working with data, huh?
