Weekly Recomender Log

Last week I reported that I had moved to Charleston, SC. I am sad to report that Google doesn't believe me. I logged on to my Google account and noted that the logo was sporting a Valentine's Day theme. So, I thought that I would do some shopping. I searched and clicked away on all sorts of romantic ads.

Then I noticed that I was getting some ads for romantic getaways in Charlotte & Asheville - something from my past must be at play.

I found a couple of additional places in Google to plug in my zip. And after a few more shopping sessions, I no longer was invited to North Carolina locations. Apparently, South Carolina doesn't have have any romantic spots - at least not ones that need to advertise.

I found something that I hadn't seen before on Google - a gadget from Google called "Interesting Things For You". It seems that they can keep an eye on my activities and find things that I would find, well, "interesting". All of this must take some time because the tool currently reports:

There aren't enough searches for interesting items yet. Check back after searching for a couple days and be sure you're signed in when you search.

I will try harder.
