The Google Mindreaders Are at it Again

Posted by: Lily on: September 12, 2008

I am both in love with as well as creeped out by the degree to which Google has me completely targeted and figured out.

Social Observation

How true is this?
In just a few short years we’ve become experts in self-branding, using the tactics of celebrity exhibitionism with a heaping dose of clever irony as a means to propel ourselves to the top.
