That is how they can target messages to our "interests." They also regularly offer to sell me the ability to offer my brand to people they believe, based on fairly accurate demographic algorithms, would have interest in my "brand." This is not new or startling technology. Pre-internet we all received "junk mail" based on information which advertisers gained access to one way or another. If you bought a new car you began to receive information related to new car ownership. Vendors, Advertising and PR firms have been working this information for a very long time. Current technology simply makes it a lot easier to crunch the numbers and with a great deal more accuracy.
