> While I very much applaud your interest in data analysis, this is very much an overreach. Even assuming that facebook has as much information about you as you think, there has been no service which is better at predicting what you like than you yourself.

As additional evidence that you are right, open facebook and look at the ads they are displaying, they are way, way, way off. (currently I am seeing a thermacare ad, I'm not sick, and a car insurance ad, I don't own a car.

Amazon on the other hand pretty much got me to buy a Romba by continuously posting photos of it on all kinds of websites until I just couldn't stand sweeping anymore.

Sorry. Just a little neurotic. Carry on.
