so Yahoo is like your little brother that pesters you when you are trying to do something, whether or not it is to your benefit or not is up to you and…Google is like your Big Brother that knows more than you want him to and exercises his knowledgeable options at will by rubbing your face in it regardless of what you want.Serenity now, Insanity later.

“Somehow” Google knows that Kevin likes UCLA? Somehow? It’s funny you say this, because the only reason I don’t have a gmail account is I think it’s creepy that they target ads based on the CONTENT OF MY PERSONAL EMAIL EXCHANGES!! It’s one thing to target based on feeds, sites visited, etc, but I don’t want anyone scanning my email for content for any purpose…even if it would make for a richer ad experience. I’m sorry that there aren’t any advertisers interested in targeting your behavior on Yahoo! Maybe there aren’t any advertisers paying to target people who want to buy bid management software. I’m sure Yahoo! has you in a whole host of profiles, but maybe nobody’s buying…
