Behavioural Targetting is just scary

Wednesday, March 11th, 2009

I have been paranoid about this for ages….hey I know how much analysis of data we do. We have nothing in comparison to Google, Facebook, MySpace and Tesco’s with those loyalty cards and codes

Hopefully they will sort out some laws.

I have no loyalty cards am not a member of any socal site and do not join linkedin etc. But people always try to link me so these big sites have got me any way.

Once day I will run off into the sunset with a bag of used notes, no mobile, no internet……just a bye bye

    Yeah, what do you say to Bob when you get an email from facebook saying Hello (your full name here) from (exactly where you live), your friend Bob has invited you to facebook…
    You tell Bob off, but the following day you get the same from John.
    I remember feeling paranoid like 5 years ago, because the guy who gave me the invite for my gmail account, I barely knew him but I heard that shortly afterwards he got in trouble with the law and I was like oh my god, they’re gonna look at the google who knows who graph! lol
