I didn't tell anyone...It makes complete sense. I didn't tell anyone that I had a blog until earlier this year, and it was only my dad, as he was relentlessly bugging me about getting on facebook. He read it and has since told everyone about it. <br />It is very weird having people you know and see know stories you didn't know they knew. (I feel like I need to say "whose on first" after that sentence.) <br />I'm perfectly fine with complete strangers reading all they want. Weird, isn't it?Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17209807996463889703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1329563580023354380.post-20888369429768743132012-12-11T22:06:08.206-05:002012-12-11T22:06:08.206-05:00I vaguely remember my sister mentioning cookies. ...I vaguely remember my sister mentioning cookies.

The other day, I go on there and it says "places where R has been lately" and it has a house icon with the NAME of the apartment building where I live stuck into a google map!! The worst part is that I DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET RID OF IT!! I also don't like buying things online for the same reasons.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06644197778332602406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1329563580023354380.post-88165183645379179622012-12-10T16:19:38.603-05:002012-12-10T16:19:38.603-05:00That's creepy alright! Wow O_O I'm glad I ...That's creepy alright! Wow O_O I'm glad I keep my blog completely separate from my real name. That decision was triggered partly by when a business acquaintance sent me an e-mail and I noticed she had my blog nickname as my name in her contact list. <br /><br />I was blogging under a nickname then too, but I had shared the url with friends and family in a facebook message. I don't know how it got past that group of people, but I was so freaked out I closed the blog to uninvited viewers immediately. <br /><br />No one in my daily life knows my blog name and url now except my husband and I like it like that. I talk about very personal things on my blog and I don't want them shared with casual acquaintances and co-workers. Complete strangers, yes :) I wouldn't even mind meeting blog friends in real life, but I want it to be in that direction (ie from blog to real life), not the other way around.

Can't even begin to imagine how that one happened. As for the creepy ads, that's because whenever you go to a site (well, not ALL sites), it adds a tracking "cookie" to your computer. I will go through and delete my browsing history and cookies every now and again, but what makes me the most crazy is that it's always something you have already looked at or bought. It would make much more sense if I bought something online and was then shown ads for related items that might be of interest. How does it benefit me OR the vendor to show me ads for something I already bought from them?!?!?! But not matter how you slice it, it does creep me out that I'll look at an item on a store's site, then go over to check out the TV Guide to see what's on that night (or another random site) and see what I was looking at on the store site earlier.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1329563580023354380.post-22473034561757210082012-12-09T23:34:01.898-05:002012-12-09T23:34:01.898-05:00Oh, I'm glad you're sticking with blogging...Oh, I'm glad you're sticking with blogging, but after your week, I can understand why you're feeling a little creeped out.
