How well does google know you?

They know me pretty well, but guessed my age wrong.

It doesn't know shit about me.

Probably because it's stored in a cookie and I'm on a computer I've never signed into google with before.

Hah! It said I was male.

...What does that say about me?

That would probably explain it.

We have finally solved the Mystery of Hat.

Hmm...18-24, male. I act older than I am?

I am guessing it just can't guess an age lower than 18.

good, otherwise I'd be a toddler.

that's scary

they had me a 18-24, I think they see a video game thing and automatically think your young

I do not think so because the average demographic for people who play video games are males in their late 20's early 30's.

They had me as an 18-24 male too. Hah.

Must be all of the porn we all look at.

/just kidding!

It thinks I'm a girl.

Dayum!

mine thinks I'm into urban hip hop and rap.

It thinks im 25-34, and into 'home and garden' and 'beauty and fitness' along with games and automotive.

Well now that I'm back home...

It says I am 18-24 male which is right.

Knows I'm into electronic music.

And for some reason thinks I am interested in flooring.

Well after you get your floors done give me a call and Ill plant a garden for you.

18-24 male

Pretty much spot on. The only one that's kinda of shaky is the law and government. It probably got that from all the SOPA/PIPA/ACTA stuff I've been looking at lately.

It said I was 25-34 and into music.

Male age 45-54 (WTF?)

the interests are pretty spot on but I don't know how it came up with the age. Apparently only geezers are interested in guitars and basses and other musical equipment.



edit: it's probably all the cello and classical music stuff I look up...that kinda would make sense.
