There’s really nothing like rubbing it in, is there?
Today I made a very rare visit to the front page of Yahoo! whereupon, I was greeted by name (2). No surprise there, since I was logged in via other Yahoo! services such as Flickr, MyBlogLog and probably half a dozen more.
(If it had been Google, you could make that a full dozen.)
Anyway, if Yahoo! knows my name, it also knows other stuff in my profiles, like my DOB and my AGE and it appears to think the latter is “advanced”!
… Because, if you notice in the top right hand corner (1) it asks me “Worried about Memory loss?” and invites me to check Yahoo! Health for answers.
Later on, down the right hand side of the page (3) is is displayed a typical “wrinkly” feature about “Alzheimer’s Disease Resources“.
Well, thank you Yahoo! If there is a link between you recognizing me and offering me “content targeted to the user”, you just managed to make me feel older than Keith Richards. OK, maybe that’s extreme, like Methuselah’s grannie then!
At this rate, if I don’t croak first, very soon I’ll need need to add “Warning! Elderly Person Blogging” in the sidebar, as “oldgit”, Big John has.
Of course, I would bookmark the helpful Alzheimer’s Disease Resources too, but there really doesn’t seem a lot of point, does there? I might not need them now, but by the time I do, I won’t remember where I saved them, will I?
… Now why did I go to Yahoo! today in the first place?
