Ads on Facebook

One thing I find really creepy about Facebook, and now most any website you go to, is ads following you, like those portraits where the eyes follow you no matter where you go in the room.  I go to ebay a lot to look up things for fun.  I'm so wild, I know.  But the next thing you know, I'll get on FB and there it is....what I looked at, whether or not I was interested in buying it.  It is now staring me in the facebook.  It's just eerie.  I don't particularly like having my websites cross breeding.  That was on Ebay, and now I've moved onto something else.  Leave it where it was, for goodness sake.  If I'm that interested, I'll keep it in mind or I'll put it on a watchlist or something.  I don't need to be reminded somewhere else of the vintage butter spreader I just happened to click on.  I'm a big boy, I can be responsible for that myself.

It's just the fact that everything is way too interconnected for my tastes.  I don't enjoy having a non breathing entity following my every move, not that I particularly enjoy a breathing entity doing that either.  And heaven forbid I'm on my phone and autocorrect occurs.  I could be searching for party linens and autocorrect kicks in before I have a chance to fix it.  The next thing you know I'm looking at ads for panty liners for the next week on FB.  Drives me nuts!

That is all :)
