Kind of interesting -I came across this yesterday.

http://t.co/xBCOEByH


So, I clicked on the "Find out what Google guesses is your age and gender" and found out that I am, according to Google, male and aged 18-24. Laugh1

Not sure what's making it think that though...

Anyone else getting highly erroneous results?

The BF, though, he's more privacy conscious than me -he shuns Google for Duckduckgo.com

That scares me. I didn't try it because I limit what personal information I allow on the internet. I'd rather they be very wrong about me.

Well, they think I'm a 35 - 44 year old male.

Hmmm.... I wonder what the results would be like for a female who wasn't a sci fi/anime geek?

I think I stumped them -- all they say about me is that I'm male. That's it, nothing else. Just male. (And how right are they about that?)

Male 18-24...and wondering about the accuracy of a site from a laptop that cruises knitting, quilting, and sewing websites just about as much as any other....

But hey, my kids use it too.

Maybe it thinks you're stereotypically gay. . .

I'm not sure if Google can track where you go on the internet, but rather just what things you use it to search for.

Heh, but if it thinks I'm male and age 18-24, then I guess that really makes me a Condor !!

Hmm. . . I guess that means, like my avatar, I'm just a big blank spot!

well it knows I'm female, but thinks I'm 18 - 24. How much of that is wishful thinking on my part?
