Facebook

Times
of India ( 20 April ) carries following news :

=============================
How
50,000 ways ?
I
suppose the author must have computed the “ Permutations and Combinations “ of
the following “ Variable Factors “ mentioned in the article :
DATA THAT USER PROVIDES :
* Age
/ Gender / Home Address / Friends / Education / Occupation
DATA WHICH Facebook COLLECTS FROM USER ACTIVITY :
* What
vehicle you own
* Where
you take your vacation
* What
Gadgets you use
* If
you are in relationship or had a break-up
* Who
lives in your house
* Your
political leanings
* Your
work place
* Restaurants
you visit
* Businesses
you interact with
* Your
online shopping
* Your
Credit history
* Your
budget for a new home
Just
50,000 ways to target you ?
I
get a feeling that the total number of “ Permutations and Combinations “ run
into MILLIONS , if you consider ALL the VARIABLES that I have listed in my
following blogs :
