google guesses your age / gender for creepy ad-preferences »

lizyerby:

is it bad how excited i get when sites guess wrong?
18-24 male! sweet!
I don’t know why these things seem particularly male to you:
Arts & Entertainment - Music & Audio - Rock Music - Indie & Alternative Music, Computers & Electronics - Software - Multimedia Software - Photo & Video Software, Games, Reference - Humanities - History, Reference - Language Resources, Shopping

but i’m actually pretty excited!
google won’t give me ultransound technician adverts like facebook!
it won’t be all “sweet tips on how to lose weight” and “look at this octopus necklace!”
you guys are great.

but really, i’m not entirely what this is for, i think that they want me to correct them, but i’d rather enjoy my ads for boys.

• Arts & Entertainment - Fun & Trivia
• Arts & Entertainment - Music & Audio - Music Reference - Song Lyrics & Tabs
• Computers & Electronics - Software - Multimedia Software - Graphics & Animation Software
• Games - Computer & Video Games - Casual Games
• Games - Computer & Video Games - Shooter Games
• Games - Online Games
• People & Society
• Shopping

they got my age and gender right. i like how specific it is about games and software but still gives me super general ones. like shopping; as if to say, hey! heard you like to buy stuff!

at least i’ve still got hulu fooled. they think i want tampons, scions and insurance.
