rpatton said:Are those [Bot]'s something to worry about? Computer privacy is a hot topic at the moment in the US and the ways information can be used is enough to creep one out. When it comes to Google, you're not the customer, you're the product.
I'm in the same boat and ebay's getting closer and closer. One of these days they're going to start bidding for me.72Combat said:I read an amusing article in the paper here about Googles new 'privacy' policies. Basically it said for all internet stuff just lie.....use a fake name for a Google account, wrong sex, age location.... if they are gathering info stuff them..... I don't have a Facebook/Google/Youtube account so I'm not too worried.....yet.
I have noticed that Ebay thinks they know what I like.... :roll:

I've heard a couple different experts on the radio say that it's not uncommon for data to be sold to just about anybody, like insurance companies and large corporate HR departments. One example was that two similar guys could get two different insurance health quotes, one guy's on a parasail forum, the other on a RC sailboat forum. This was NPR, and it's well known they're a bunch of commie liberals. I wonder what BlueCross thinks about motorcycles with skinny tires.
