Stations using H1N1 embeddable media should take note that support for many of these tools will be ending with the project on March 31, 2010. Here are the details.
- NPR Flu Map — After March 31, the embed code will remain active but the NPR flu map will no longer be updated. We recommend stations make arrangements to remove this map from their website in the coming weeks.
- H1N1 Public Media Widget — During the month of April, this widget will continue to scrape public media sources for news stories related to H1N1. On May 1, 2010, NPR will shut off the Daylife feed that powers the widget. Stations should make arrangements to remove this widget from their website in the coming weeks.
- Yahoo Pipes Widgets — FluPortal created a number of widgets by inputting H1N1 related RSS feeds through Yahoo Pipes. After March 31, the widgets will no longer be supported. These widgets will remain active until May 1. Stations should make arrangements to remove them from their website in the coming weeks. Learn how to create similar widgets for your site in our guide to using Yahoo Pipes.
