[Cialug] Immersion

[Pete Trbovich]

I remember when the paranoia about Google tracking your browsing habits was going around, I checked the "Google guesser" for ad preferences (it seems to be down now). It guessed I was a North American male, age 18-24 (younger than reality) and interested in tech, music, and puzzles. I write freelance, so my browsing habits actually fit my client's target markets age-wise anyway.

I said again "big deal" and got three conspiracy theorists cawing HOW CAN YOU STAND THAT? OPT OUT OPT OUT!

Seriously, if I found out the NSA was watching me, I'd be flattered from the attention. At least *somebody* is reading my blog...

They offer an option to delete your data when you logout. At
least, supposedly.

I pulled it up a couple hours ago but their servers are being pounded so I
haven't got my results back.
