One of the things that "Just Marla" was trying to do, i.e., identify the religion of a given blogger, has been made unintentionally a whole lot easier by the ads that occur on a given site.

I noticed just now that apparently my use of the word "Mormon" triggered a whole slew of Mormon related ads showing up on my unlogged in visit to this site. Thus, reading the ads gives me a good idea of just what the Artificial Intelligence at the blog host thinks the site is all about. Of course you still have to do your own analysis to really pin it down, as this is not a very Mormon site at all, it just happens to mention them in one blog post. Of course now I've mentioned it again, so the A.I. bots will really go nuts posting Mormon related ads.

I saw the same effect the other day when looking up a newspaper article about a big local car wreck. Down at the bottom of the story were a whole bunch of ads about buying cars....

Now, if my theory holds true, on my next visit I should get a ton of ads about buying cars in Utah ! Lexus pray about this ??? Deo Volvo lente ? Watch the ads !! How about a Christler Chrysler ? PT Barnum would be so happy with this technology !
