Google Flu Trends

Um, did I mention that Google rocks?  I ran across Google Flu Trends today (via kottke.org).  They are able to predict flu outbreaks based on geographical data from search terms.  The awesome thing is not only that they took the time to figure out what search terms indicate flu, but also that they give this information to the CDC, as well as the public.
