I'm checking out hotels in Dusseldorf Germany on the web .. the next thing I see are these ads appearing on the facebook site for "hotels in Dusseldorf and Cologne ... I check out Tangine recipes on the web, and these stooopid ads for tangine merchants appear on my facebook.

I check out train schedules from Dusseldorf to Berlin and I start getting emails for train rates from various travel agencies ... probably scraped my email addy from facebook.
