Self Motivation & Self Determination

Surprisingly it seems Google is at it again with their behavioral targeting technology.  I  can’t be too sure, but either it was a freaky coincidence   or Gmail behavioral targeting software is sending me junk mail, based on my own messages.

Earlier I wrote a message that used a specific and unpopular phrase.  I sent the message to its recipient.  Later today I got a message in my main inbox from a mailer which usually would be found in my SPAM box, in the subject line was the same specific and unpopular phrase I had wrote in the message I sent earlier, but this message was completely separate.

Could this be completely coincidental or is Google starting to decide which messages are relevant to us by using advance behavioral targeting techniques?  If this is the case then it’s only a matter of time before Google will start using Gmail data for rank and position purposes.

If anyone else witnessed this strange occurrence then please share your story, I’d love to know if this is more than just a coincidence.
