This blog is supposed to be about Being Old but I keep getting distracted. So today, to return to our theme, here are the targeted ads in the right-hand column when I signed in to Facebook this morning:
Mom's Facelift Secret
Faithful Women Wanted which appears to be a seniors dating site -- who knew?
Aging Skin Care and
Death With Dignity that one's a book.
So I wonder: Are they just after me, or do younger people get the same Special Offers (as Kindle calls them)?
today mine are (but they always change):
ReplyDeleteorder your holiday cards
cyber monday continues: boots $22 (i was looking online for boots yesterday
new UGG boots on Zappos
home energy savings from nyserda (have no idea where that came from)
and Nordstrom Designer Sale
i have gotten that mom's facelift secret one too, tho, on occasion...
I'm not on Facebook, so I can't help there. But the ads on gmail tonight don't seem very well targeted to me. One is trying to help me stop debt collectors, and another is trying to sell me a Hyundai. At the moment I don't owe anybody any money (mirabile dictu), and I wouldn't buy a Hyundai on a bet. So there you have it.

ReplyDeleteHey!! I entered a comment! Progress - by the way, I am not Anonymous, I am Connie.
ReplyDeleteSo, these are my FB ads - I was quite surprised to see what they are, as I never look at them:
(and you'll see there is a theme!)
Affordable Weight Loss - Topps, Real People, Real Weight Loss
Overstock Ipads (w a photo of Steve Jobs)
Custom Engagement Rings - handmade locally in Vancouver (my status does indicate I am married)
Glitz and Glamour - Play Now Disney City Girl - this one has kind of a mixed message - Disney, but a pair of sky high Christian Loubitin heels?
(And Glitz an Glamour - that is SO me!)
12 kgs in 7 days - Golds Gym
Rachel Ray drops 4 dress sizes in a mont
Dr. Oz approves Diet
So, clearly somebody thinks I need to drop a few pounds!
