I Cann't Recomment This Service - SeenThis?

Here we have a new facebook application that allows you to "take your social network with you".

Loomia has just released a new application - SeenThis? - that allows users on media sites (Wall Street Journal, NBC), with just a click, send their facebook network their latest recommendation. This recommendation gets combined with the other recommendations of your friends / groups / networks and presented to them while on facebook.

Loomia gets all excited about the flip side of the application. While on a partner site, say, the Wall Street Journal, you get to see what your facebook contacts think about the current articles.

It seems that you are never alone with SeenThis? and facebook.

I don't much like this whole idea. I am not interested in sharing this kind of information. I am also not interested in seeing what all of my buddies are reading. And, just when I thought I was all alone with this kind of antisocial networking bias, I looked at the second link that shows that not very many people are using this service. Somehow this makes me feel better about life on our planet.

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.
