Fighting against "dengue" on the net





It seems that the social games wave can be used as a good weapon to solve public health problems in Brazil. The Health Deparment of Minas Gerais State has created a social game called "Dengue Ville" inspired on the Facebook's one "Farmville". However, Degue Ville has been created to operate on Orkut, the most popular social network in Brazil.

In addition to orkuteers, the fighting campaign against "Dengue" in Minas Gerais State is also available for twitters on matadordadengue.
