The last sentence is hilarious. please make that happen Google.

Amazon should be paying attention to this. Why on God's earth do they keep showing me ads for televisions months after I bought one – from Amazon! After a couple weeks of heavy research I bought a TV and haven't clicked on a TV since. You'd think they would have realized I'm not in the market for a TV any more.

I definitely saw this happening last week. I was discussing with a colleague a service our law firm uses from Hoovers.com. I said I'd never heard of the company, as (to my Britishness), hoovers are vacuum cleaners. I Googled "hoovers" and sent her the relevant Wikipedia links, and then lo and behold on the next website I visited (totally unrelated), I saw a big Skycraper Google image-ad for Hoovers.com. Interesting, and eerie to see.

it LIVES!

I've wondered for a long time whether Google was doing this... essentially working themselves out of the job.

Regarding the last sentence: I think it's already so for a long time, they just don't dare to tell it to the press yet. ;-)

This worked for me even after I deleted my cookies after the second search.
