I noticed this the other day, and went "WTH?".
Quoting: Ms. Superduper Bless your heart, I KNEW someone else must be seeing this!!!! Keep your eye on this with Facebook and see if it seems to be tracking VERBAL conversations you have - NOT WRITTEN STUFF ON THE COMPUTER (like emails and Google searches), and then putting up an ad that relates to it - perhaps pretty directly (i.e, BRAND NAMES). Keep watching this and tell everyone you know that this might be a possibility and to keep an eye out for this. I know it sounds paranoid but the source that told me is impeccable and insists this has happened several times and about very specific things that could not possibly be coincidences. I am just trying to see if anyone else has had this experience and to warn people. Please share. And I love your posts, by the way, Ms. Superduper!!! I started noticing this just this past year. Ads coming up based not only on recent searches for something like a new car...and the specific model that we were searching! But like you point out, weird ads for things we had recently discussed but did NOT search on the computer. Keep our laptops, smartphones, etc. out of our common living areas. That's the creepiest part!!! We've gotten to the point where we "accept" being spied on with our phone calls and emails and letters but I don't think people realize that their private VERBAL conversations in their own houses and cars are ALSO being spied on. And we don't even know the full range of devices that might be doing this as it could be MORE than just the computer or the phone. Potentially anything with computer chips could be doing this now, so we really have to be aware of what devices are in the rooms we are in and what range they might have. Hell, maybe we all need to go back to the 19th century! Carrier pigeons, anyone? This could include conversations in your car, especially if you have a newer model vehicle. Hmmmmm....Government Cash for Clunkers...more people needing to buy newer cars.
