Facebook ads have always been relevant to me. Just this weekend, I was browsing profiles on Facebook, and the ads were all, "DO YOU NEED A GIRLFRIEND?"

Totally targeted.

That level of targeting is actually kind of creepy, in my opinion.

Try changing your status from in a relationship to single or vice-versa and see what kind of adverts you get. (Never mind what your privacy settings are...)

The day after my birthday the text of the ads changed from '32 and still single?' to '33 and still single?' - that's just mocking me :-(
heh those were probably my ads
