And out of the millions of people on Facebook, you are the only human being on planet earth that will see that ad. And pick the date and time you'll see it. And if I were a tire dealer, I could also show you an ad that tries to sell you Michelin tires from my tire store as a result of you hitting Michelin.com three days earlier. I can also raise the fare price you see at www.airlineofyourchoice.com because you have returned three times in 48 hours to check on the same trip pricing, and I know you may be about to buy.

This is the high-tech science of behind-the-scenes targeted marketing and re-branding of which most have no knowledge. One other thing....if you do not want your personal identity violated (i.e. people breaking into your house after your son posts that you are all going to Florida on vacation) I suggest you run from FB ASAP.
Dude-you are scary...

If Al Gore knew what you know, he would not have invented the internet.
