Lesbians and Mind Maps
Just a quick little weekend rant about letting Google run rampant on your site: I've been researching mind maps lately, and came across a startup blog which had reviewed a mind map product. (For courtesy's sake, I'm not revealing the name of the blog). The blog had also reviewed other sites, including a mashup maker and Yahoo! Search Builder, amongst others. Nothing to indicate that sexuality of any persuasion was of interest.
So naturally, Google placed ads on the blog for a lesbian dating site and mind mapping software.
With all the money and technology we put behind profiling web site visitors, I'm wondering how Google could be so wrong? This is reminiscent of "Tivo thinks I'm gay or Nazi" syndrome that happened years and years ago . . .

Mind-mapping.org has all the mind mapping software there is (bar one or two I have in my To Do list). So if you're researching it, might be a good place to go. And no ads .

Hey Patrick - can't speak much about the ads you saw, but I use MindMeister.com - web-based, pretty slick so far.
