This is completely standard. Myspace is nothing but an advanced marketing device. It logs huge amounts of information based on the movies and music you like, and your interests.

lots of sites even a few poker ones are trying to do this with info the users give.

It has also come to my attention that advertisements often exaggerate or otherwise distort the information they present about the products they advertise. Can anyone confirm?

Najdorf, for you they will advertise local bars in your area where Hayden Panetteire will be a 5.

Did you think they made the site just for fun?

Obviously they are going to target the ads as best they can. Every site does it - it just depends if they choose ads beforehand based on demographics, or run split tests to see which work better.

I don't see what private information they'd have that you'd really have to worry about losing. Everything they use is being taken from stuff people are posting to a public site anyway.

ugly girls on facebook usually put a picture of themselves with a hot friend as their profile pic as to deceive you as to which one they are so they get more attention. it's disgusting.

just an fyi.

This is just Nader propaganda. I can't think of a company that would make a false claim about one of its products.

This new advertising thing sounds awesome to me. I've always been a huge fan of targeted ads because something I actually see stuff I'm interested in and I click on it. I hope they do a good job with it.
