Google Health rumors continue

Rumors continue to circulate that Google plans to launch a new service called Google Health. The latest information is from Google Blogoscoped, a blog focused on the company which claims to have talked to several employees who confirmed the rumor. For those keeping score at home, the evidence thus far includes the following tidbits: A prominent engineer at Google has been seen running around town wearing a name tag reading "Google Health" (hint, hint). Techies hip to such things suggest the company may already be harvesting health-related Web content in preparation for a launch. And of course, there is the fact that the idea just makes too much sense to ignore, since everybody already uses Google to search for health information, including many doctors.
