Google Diagnosis

I'm surprised that Google doesn't have a feature where you plug in your symptoms and it gives you a diagnosis.

(type) Symptoms runny nose, chills, achiness
(enter)

"You have a cold."

Well, that's basically WebMd. Although no matter what I type in, cancer always comes up.

Is this totally hypothetical, or do you have a cold? If you do, feel better!

Check out google flu trends: http://www.google.org/flutrends/

based on what and where people google symptoms related to the flu, google can predict when there's about to be an outbreak. it works better than anything the cdc has ever come up with
