Google Health Debuts


The big news on the Internet today is the launch of Google Health, Google's foray into online medical and health record storage.

According to PC World:

"The public can go today to www.google.com/health and create profiles that include basic medical information such as existing medical conditions, allergies and any medicines being taken..."

Google lists of online partners includes pharmacies like Walgreens and Longs Drug Stores.

Ideas like Google Health have started to gain a lot of currency recently with Microsoft and WebMD joining the fray.

Privacy, as always on the Internet, is a key issue; Google says it may publish "anonymous, aggregated data."

Reminder that it is just in beta stage right now, so some glitches are expected.

So, are you going to trust Google with this information?
