What google knows

So, you may or may not know that if you are a google user, google uses an algorithm to sort your use and guess at your interests, age and sex. You can look yours up by going to this address http://www.google.com/ads/preferences

Google thinks I am a 65+ year old man who is interested in

Finance - Investing

Internet & Telecom - Web Apps & Online Tools

News - Business News - Fiscal Policy News

Now that I think about it, that profile more-or-less describes my dad perfectly.

It actually got Angela figured out pretty well though. Lots of knitting stuff. But it pegged her age too low and it thinks she's a man. Even though all of the interests that it identified as hers, except comics, are more or less stereotypical lady interests like skin care, fashion, and knitting.

Interesting!

But pointless.
