I Just Noticed Google Is Targeting Their Ads

I must have been ad blind for a very long time because today is the first time that I noticed a Google ad and that was because it was targeted to the city I live in when I hit the site. I know Google knows everything, but that was freaky. I see many widgets that tell the webmaster where their visitors are coming from and I’m not sure that I like that either. I certainly understand why some people use a proxy and I may look into that myself.

There is definitely no privacy online anyone can find out whatever they please about you. If you think about it, it’s rather scary of course I don’t really care because if there was ever a stalker that came to visit I do have a gun. Of course I may never use it, but I’m sure my partner would. I have met many people in real life that I made friends with online and never had a problem, but I know there have been many people that weren’t so lucky.

I certainly hope everyone uses a firewall, but I’m sure if a hacker wanted in they could find a way that’s why I never keep important personal information on my computer so nothing could be used to swipe my identity, but some people are just vicious and love to send viruses because they can. I am always careful with e-mail and always make sure to delete if I don’t know them.

Lately I don’t even check to see if Akismet has held up a legitimate comment I simply delete them all because if you make the mistake of checking a site it could be booby trapped I had that happen a long time ago and it wasn’t nice. It’s getting late or rather early so it’s time to hit my bed for a few hours, hope everyone has a nice rest and I’ll see you tomorrow.
