So it really does seem that the phrase "big brother is watching" is true. As I mentioned previously in What happens on Facebook- stays on Facebook, forever:
"Every click, every page opened, every message sent is tracked, stored, and possibly referred to at a later stage. Everything is recorded, nothing is deleted. Online giants like Google know everything about everyone- who you send mail to, what you blog about, who you follow, who follows you, what you search for, what pages you open, how long you spend looking at them. It wouldn't take someone long to figure out where you live if you are a person who uses the "get directions" function in Google Maps- I know I've used it."
Read this article from Mashable for some mind-altering information: How Companies Are Using Your Social Media Data.
