Really creepy ad thing, coincidence?

[ninjabridemom]

I was walking from the boys' school thinking about how we could invite the class (12 kids) over for a movie night. The best idea I had was to project something in our backyard. I didn't search anything, I just THOUGHT it. I didn't even have my phone in my hand.

I login to my work computer and open facebook and what is the first ad I see? An Amazon projector.

No, it was totally the new Google ad brainwave tracking technology.

LOL. The Amazon deal of the day is a projector. (Only $500!) That's why you are seeing it in your feed. If you shopped recently at Amazon, they're retargeting you.

lol

though if you'd sent a text or email to your H about it I would actually be suspicious! I don't know how it works but you are transitting info over the internet and the GOOGLE KNOWS. THE GOOGLE ALWAYS KNOWS

one time i had an awkward conversation with a coworker about his foot fungus (no I did not initiate this conversation) and then when it finally ended and I got online the banner ad on this site advertised a fungal foot cream to me.

I was like WHAT IS HAPPENING!!!!

This is totally facetious guys. It IS weird but totally coincidence.

But Amazon often takes what I search in other places and sends me ads. Target too. THAT is creepy but well discussed here.

I hate it when I click on a link to ugly shoes someone posts here in ML, and then I have to see them all day long on every other site I visit.
