My absolute favorite heels are made by Born. The style is 'Dollie'. I have a pair in black, and I love them! I can traverse for several miles in them. I've worn them standing on my feet all day. Next to my hiking boots and dressy winter boots, they are my favorite travel shoes.

Sorry, picture is kinda grainy but hopefully you get the idea. So I really really wanted the brown ones (called 'Coffee') but couldn't get them via my fave local family owned shoe store where I bought my black ones. So, I went to the internet. I did a search using good 'ol Google, and visited several websites - Born, Macy's, Zappos, Amazon etc... I eventually did find a pair in the color and size I wanted (yeah, me!). But now....the creepy part....
In my email accounts, on my social media accounts, seemingly EVERYWHERE, I have ads popping up in the margins for this exact style/brand/color of shoe! These EXACT shoes are now everywhere I am online! Really? Yes, really.
So, I'm used to ads but not ads so specifically targeted at me. So...of course I 'googled' and found this:
http://www.wired.com/2009/03/googles-new-ad/ Google evidently has a new 'ad network'. Creepy but true.
I wonder what happens if I search for hemorrhoid cream? Hmmmm..... let's run a test.....
I googled 'hemorrhoid cream' and visited links to several pharmacies including Walgreens and
CVS. Now I'm getting ads for auto insurance. Does this mean that I'm supposedly spending so much time sitting in my car that I have hemorrhoids? Clearly the big brother of the internet doesn't know everything. I spend too much time sitting at my computer typing crap that like only 6 people read.
Peace.
