I saw a photo posted on Facebook that was tagged with Andrei Broder and Prabhakar Raghavan (both of Yahoo research). It’s ironic that both have worked on algorithms for contextual advertising, but the ads on Facebook next to the photos were hilarious. One of the ads is for “rich dads”. I’m not sure if that was because of Andrei, Prabhakar, or myself (or some combination thereof). The second ad is for travel to Ghana, which may be caused by my rants about guys in Ghana calling me to try out 419 scams. Or maybe this is a new form of scam by the guys in Ghana? If so then the ad is chilling.
