Targeted advertising when playing minstrel banjo..

[david caron]

So lately, i’ve been seeing all sorts of ads for luggage etc when I browse the Internet.. I’m not in the market to buy new luggage, i’m not planning any sort of trip or anything, so I really couldn’t understand why all the ads that were coming my way were for new sets of luggage. I then noticed that there is company called Briggs that sells luxury suitcases (out of my price range). I guess that Google is having a bit of a hard time realizing that all of my « Briggs » related searches are about me looking up a banjo tutor published 163 years ago. This story has no real point other than I though it was a bit funny.

I’m guessing that they’ll soon think that I have a cold (Buckley’s…?)

LOL.  Converse ought to cause all kinds of problems as well.
