Interesting stuff!

My work involves finding adverts for webpages actually based on the content of the page rather than some generic 'vertical' market setting, the way most adverts are chosen. One thing we do is to look at a clients search history before selecting an ad. Hence if you've been looking for pink horsewhips several times and are on a page about black cat-o-nines we might show you and add for the Pink Naughty 9000 rather than the Chat Noir.

I think your job is creepy.

Why so, DG?

Search engines provide facts: they don’t answer questions.

"Search engines provide facts: they don’t answer questions." very well put, you just made my quotes file ;)

Meanwhile... it's a shame you made this post at the start of December, by now you could have made a few sly references along the lines of "we're unlikely to acerbate the cyberwar between the United States and China".

By the way, that's a very well written blog piece, I am genuinely impressed.
