Facebook knows everything

Next is the black choppers. I seen em over Palo Alto.

 

what's really strange....and my co-worker had the same experience at another time with a different subject and thought he was crazy.

I asked my wife what was the best way to make french toast. So then I google...how to make and french toast was the second thing after money. what are the chances how to make french toast is the 2nd most googled thing?

 

We are in an age where independent thought that goes against the prevaling wind is punished, especially if that opinion comes from a white, hetero male. Are you paying attention at all?

 

Yeah, because white hetero must really stick out among IYC's friends and family.

 

Conservatives sure stick out. My bother and I are the only ones in the family.

 

I live close to Asheville, NC, where the pseudo hippies hang out. If you want a genuine smelly hippy, you gotta go up to Boone, NC. That's where both of my kids go to college.

Ha. Just experienced another Facebook knows everything moment.

Dug out these old Solomon shoes I've had for years this morning because it's friggin' cold up here; they're a slip on, super comfortable, great soles with tread that's aggressive like a work boot, leather uppers and Thinsulate lined. This morning, when I put them on, the pull strap thingy in the back came off the one shoe. I figure I'm due for a new pair, so I search for them, on Google, on my phone, because I've had them for like 8 years and I can't remember where I bought them and there's no model or name on them but Solomon. So I enter descriptive terms in Google trying to find out what they are.

I get into the shop, turn on the computer, and the first thing on my Facebook is a "sponsored post" from Zappos.com featuring nearly the identical shoe, but made by Columbia. I guess I could wrap my head around it a bit more if there was a shoe ad, but it basically tailored a sponsored ad to me based on the search terms I put in Google with pretty much the exact thing I was looking for. Like, Facebook found what I was looking for easier than I did. Impressive.

For reference, based on the description I gave Google, this is the shoe that ad was for on Facebook:

Makes you wonder what ads they put up based on your porn searches...

 

I don't search for porn. Porn searches for me.

 

Well done....:up:

 

I Use Private browsing windows for those searches!!

 

Extremely impressive. I never believed in Facebook's valuation, but seeing their sophistication with ads I've softened my view on that. All they have to do to justify that valuation is somehow pass their data to other advertisers without you being aware of it.
