Wow, Mr. Venomous, thanks for the information on search bubbles. I can't say I didn't know some of how it worked, but I didn't think about how widespread it could be. I know Google and Bing know a lot about me because of the search suggestions that come up when I type, and certainly I've heard that they collect a lot of information. I recently heard that one (probably more) travel site--Expedia.com I think was the one--will give higher-priced deals to those who use a Mac instead of a PC, assuming that if you have a Mac, you probably make more money than a PC user (which might be true...I think I'd like a Mac, but sure can't afford one).

I have a love/hate relationship with Facebook. I like sharing and posting and all that, but I don't like that it only lets you see a very limited number of posts in your feed. I have hundreds of friends, but see only the posts of a handful of them. A day or two ago, I read that Facebook now has it set up so that you only see Friends' posts if you add their name to the Interests lists that are for organizing your friends. Even that isn't enough, because I haven't "heard" from many people, but if I go to their page, I see recent posts by them. People say the same about me, and I find very limited responses to my posts, by a comparably small group of friends. I am fully aware that if I have hundreds of friends, it's impossible to keep up with them all, but it should be MY choice to wade through them all if I want. Let me control my feed my way!
