"Nip the flu in the bud by spreading information, not germs, through the social network." Being contagious, the flu is inherently social. To stop the spread of the flu, attack it at its source, the social network. Flu Alert helps spread the CDC's flu message through Facebook. Flu Alert sorts your friends by their state's flu level. You can then share a CDC provided article to their wall. You can also check your current location for its CDC flu level.Flu Alert is styled in a way so that it can be easily viewed on mobile phones. Because of its mobile design, Flu Alert can be advertised at a local level and through SMS campaigns, targeting high flu areas. Its mobile design also easily allows its integration into pre-existing desktop websites.
