This is what I’ve bought from eBay:

This is what eBay thinks I want to buy:

This is who Google thinks I am:

This is what Facebook thinks I’m interested in:

Basically, I’m a middle-aged man with horses who is thinking about joining the armed services. Or, you know, not.



Lol, that genuinely made me laugh. I hate those stupid Facebook and Amazon suggestions… They are always wrong!!
Thank you, I’m really happy you like my network; take time to check all the sites part of it, if you please.
It’s amazing how wrong those suggestions can be lol. No matter what I do, Facebook thinks I’m a gay hormonal teen boy looking for love…Sad deal
Those ads always make me laugh. I get some of the oddest ones ever.
How very stupid!!!! heehee!!!
Lol! There is probably just not enough data for some of it. I suspect that Google is the most accurate (It says that I’m a age 25-34 male) but who knows what puts you in a certain demographic?
Haha, that’s such a great comparison on those three companies/social places/whatevers.
…and to make the last line rhyme, you could have switched services with forces, thus causing it to rhyme with horses.
haha.
Okay, this one is hands down funny!
I wonder how they pulled off data and gave you that result. Internet can be entertaining but we humans are smarter! Lol.
Where in England do you live? I went there last year for a few weeks in the Spring and loved it! I thought about going to Paris when I was there but then i went on a crazy shopping spree and well it just never panned out lol
I live in Nottingham
That made me crack a smile, you know, your last paragraph. It’s amazing how these websites get these random information and where they get it from. I don’t bother correcting them sometimes, but sometimes I do feel annoyed.
haha, Google’s guess of your age and gender is funny
Surprisingly, it was spot on for mine. Sometimes friends send me product links that they want to buy or think is funny, and next thing I know, my recommendations are based on it. Kind of annoying sometimes!
The internet these days can be funky in deciding… Or even guessing who you are/what you like o__o. I don’t understand how a 16×10 wooden stable would interest you with those things you bought XD! Even Facebook/Google thinking you’re a middle aged man interested in the force.. o__o. That’s just weird. XD I never really paid attention to facebook ads so I suppose :c.
Take care
Hilarious! XD
Google actually does pretty well for me, although I have seen that it seems to be off for a lot of people. Last I checked, it had the right age range and gender for me, and the interests it listed were mostly true. (I think it was fitness, arts & entertainment… I don’t remember the others.)
Hah, the internet is weird. ;P
That’s hilarious. What Google thought of you, a middle-aged man, I would find that a compliment only because it means you’re different from the mid-20′s women out there
On the other hand, Google is pretty much spot on with me. A 24-year-old female. Yup. T:P
Google thinks I’m a male in my late twenties/early thirties on my work computer. It’s so funny how wrong they can be. Unfortunately I share an eBay account with my boyfriend so I get a few electronic things and he gets annoyed that he’s now seeing suggestions for jewellery. XD
I had web design/dev and domain hosting/reg on mine too. On my home computer Google actually gets it right – I’m a female in her 20s!
Google has my age demographic correct, guessing I’m 18-24, but they also think I’m male. I don’t think it affects the relevance of the ads they show me, though, because the interests they have for me based on my recent search terms seem pretty relevant.
I can’t imagine why on Earth eBay would suggest a HORSE STABLE to you.
Thank you for the comment!
Ugh, the Internet! I absolutely dislike Facebook now – so much advertising and shizz on there it’s putting me off! And I hate how everything links with everything else. Link your Twitter, MySpace, GoodReads, Spotify – eugh. Keep it simple please!
Okay, kind of ranting. It’s funny though how those sites like to offer suggestions
they’re pretty humorous a lot of the time!
It’s funny what the internet thinks sometimes. How did you find out what demographics Google thinks you are? I want to know what Google thinks of me lol.
I must be predictable because all those sites have me pretty spot on. Except google thinks I am younger than I am. I must be immature
. lol
Woah. That makes me wonder what on earth you search for majority of the time, if that’s what they think you’re interested in…
OMG that is funny! Sometimes (okay, a lot of the time) the internet is stupid
I think the wooden stable is particularly relevant to your previous buys.
