Google’s Concerned for My Health

February 17, 2008 on 8:13 am | In Personal, Techspeak |

Google Health WatchThis morning, after reinstalling Wordpress because I was getting some odd behavior after the latest upgrade, I hit my blog and was greeted with the image you see at right. I have to wonder if this is a coincidence, or if Google’s indexing the content Twitter badge, where I’ve been bemoaning my poor health these last few days, led to them recommending some nasal sprays. Even though it makes perfect sense when you think about it, I find it a little creepy when Google “knows” I’m sick and is recommending solutions.
