I’ve noticed more advertisements targetted at my geographic location (determined by my IP address?) Not sure if search engines are filtering results using the same criterion, but it wouldn’t surprise me.

Not that they’re blocking me from any particular reaching websites and information. But they might not be helping me find certain stuff either.

Not long ago a colleague sent me an email on Gmail account asking for a dump of some stuff off the corporate accounting database. The email was surrounded by ads for trash hauling and dumpster rentals. And they were all local companies.

Now, if I'd accessed my Gmail account after first tunneling through our Miami office, you can bet the ads would have been for South Florida garbage men.
