Love the coolness factor, but we shouldn’t be deciding it’s probably stomach flu based on a website when a pro should be sure it’s not an appendix ready to burst! As long as users are aware to use data for background or epidemiology, GREAT, but sure wouldn’t want to see folks use it to rationalize not getting appropriate professional care.

“But wouldn’t this need 1000’s of entries in it to show some kind of pattern or trend?”

Exactly! That’s why I’m thinking something like this would work wonders on WebMD, given their amount of daily users.

However, WhoIsSick.org seems to be getting some TV press play, so maybe it will catch on.

I think it’s cool, but the downside is it makes me not want to leave my house.
