ok, this is ludicrous.
Im used to having websites self populate with ads for places i visit but this is ridiculous. This morning as i went down the road, a billboard flashed to a KEH ad just as i approached it.

Your Android phone and location was on?
I’m tired of getting LinkedIn suggestions that are clearly from my phone contacts.
Googles have hacked your optic nerves!
Someday soon, someone will make a movie about it.
Linked in is nothing but a spam generator. I signed up just to get one guy’s contact info and i am now getting bombarded by “look what he did now” and “you have mutual friends” and “this job looks perfect for you” emails. Along with a non-stop pitch to pay them for upgraded membership.
Back in ’99, I chose to *not* take on a MySpace presence. And, have done the same with the Book of Face, Linked Endlessly and every other form of sociopathic media.
And every day, I hear of another nightmare, anything from Professor Hale’s ad cascades, to crazy exes slithering out of the woodwork.
I’ve done a pretty good job thus far, of staying under the radar. I don’t even get junk mail from AARP.

Heh… They ‘know’ where you are!!! :-)
It is strange how some things to happen. Kind of like that Steve Martin comedy where that billboard kept telling them stuff.
