Google Profiling Social Network Users
David Harry writes "Google is looking deeper into behavioral targeting of social network users with three more patents.

Profliling - coming soon to a fliling center near you!
Profiling? Sounds painful.
Not if you use a profilactic, and remember boys, if she says "opt out" she means "opt out".

You obviously do not have high school age daughters.
I hope that all this uncomfortable profiling is really going to improve the ads I'm going to see.
But how will I know when it works? Maybe when they start selling penis shrinking pills.
