Eileen Rose Interesting; It says Target can tell if a women is pregnant before she knows, by 2 items she buys. (Hint: It wasn't even a pregnancy test.)


message 2: by Ambrosia (new) - added it

Ambrosia I read an article about that, actually - they develop alogorithms based on people's purchases so that they can send you targeted advertising. It's caused more than a few upsets in some households - one man called up Target in a righteous fury because they'd sent his 16-year-old daughter a bunch of ads and coupons for diapers and baby supplies...only to call them a couple weeks later with a sheepish apology when he found out they'd been right about her condition.
