Facebook watching us.
This so true. If I go internet surfing just looking at products, the next time I'm on Facebook, I see the same exact products I was looking at before. I rarily have any private messages that pertain to products, so they don't see anything with my messages, but this other thing I mentioned about surfing the net, that really bugs me!!!
