I have an unusual thing to report about the data mining.

I get massive ads based on my Ebay activity... art supplies etc.

But yesterday I had on Facebook an ad for Military Veterans clothing.
My hubby wore out his old fishing cap this summer...which he used for a boonie hat (from Vietnam)... his old Boonie hat died
years ago. And low and behold there was an ad for a Boonie hat..
olive drab 1/2 off and free shipping. I certainly wasn't looking for one yet and neither was he. But it popped up on my Angry Birds game, and we bought one! So the price was right and we are rather amazed that something actually worked for us this way!
