Some time ago I have seen, I believe, a TED talk about likes, friends, and advertising.

The methods to create data about you "out of nothing" are incredible. Even if you don't share any data about yourself, other people do (that for you). You are marked in pictures, mentioned in online conversations. So, even if you don't have a Facebook account, Facebook knows you. Probably better than you could imagine. Even if you have a Facebook account and behave very neutral, the method of "birds of a feather..." shows which products you probably like because your friends like them...

Above I wrote "The methods to create data about you "out of nothing" are incredible." Have you ever tried to solve thos logic puzzles where you have a handful of information and then you have to find out who is living in the yellow house and who owns the border collie?

It is dark outside now for some hours already, so I go to bed. I will try to find the video in the next two or three days and post the link to it here.
