OT: targeted advertisements
What's up with the new Salon advertisements for the dating agency, with the little live videos of women flashing cleavage? Sometimes there's three different women dancing around my screen pushing their boobs practically in Glenn Greenwald's cartoon face.
It's not dignified. And a bit off-message.
It's targeted advertising; somewhere, at some time, a cookie was set on your computer that is telling the ad server to return those specific ads. Different users are going to see different ads depending on what the ad server sees on that cookie.
