Who does Google think you are?

Post by eight_ender »

This is pretty interesting. A neat little list of what interests Google thinks you have based on your use of all of the Google products and the tracking cookie they use everywhere:
http://www.google.com/ads/preferences/

Mine:

Arts & Entertainment - TV & Video - Online Video
Computers & Electronics
Computers & Electronics - Hardware - Laptops
Computers & Electronics - Hardware - Peripherals - Monitors
Computers & Electronics - Programming
Computers & Electronics - Programming - Scripting Languages
Computers & Electronics - Software - Operating Systems - Mac OS
Games - Computer & Video Games - Simulation Games
Hobbies & Leisure - Paintball
News - Weather
Shopping - Apparel - Clothing Accessories - Gems & Jewelry

Google nailed me pretty good except for the Gems & Jewelry part.

I don't know where they get sports from :p Cool find, I've love to see the reasoning behind the facebook ads they give... there was a brief period where I got slammed with gay male dating site ads on fb, I think that they noticed a dry spell in my relationship history and thought if I should try playing the other side of the field... :D hah
When in doubt, nuke it from orbit...

I removed a couple that seemed trended to my brother (Food & Drink) and Meghan (Travel)

Other than that, pretty damn spot on.
