I've got a couple of Gmail accounts. If you're familiar with Gmail, you've probably figured out that Google uses the power of the internet to display advertisements about what you care most about.
At one point I had an account where I was getting (and sending) tons of mail about roller derby. Oh, and I also get a lot of mail from trans organizations at that account. I'd get ads for videos featuring hot transsexuals with knee replacements or some such nonsense. If that's not precisely what I care about most, I don't know what is.
When I signed on as a contributor at Shakesville, I set up a separate Gmail account. Just now I noticed the latest bit of laser guided marketing:
O HAI, if you LOL @ Shakesville, you'll love Charlie St. Cloud.
What part of Deeky's letter didn't y'all read? Gawd.
