Big brother is watching you.....
Our local internet provider just switched over to Google and GMail. I was NOT a happy camper about it, and will continue to use my Outlook Express rather than the GMail. When I complained to Customer Service at the local phone company about the apparent "harvesting" that Google does, he sent this explanation."Some websites you go to are sponsored by Google to create revenue, like your quilting board. If a website chooses to generate income through ads from Google...they use a simple keyword based ad system to do a search for the most popular words on the website and then pull up a list of ads relevant to the website. It seems like you're being watched, but really it is just a simple program used to pull words off the website and do a search."
Not sure that I'm sold on the explanation, but that's what they tell me.
