Who knows you better, or at least thinks they have a better understanding of who you are, Google or Facebook? Complicated question to answer to since both do a different job of trailing our moves. Facebook knows us by our profiles, which include, friends, pictures, private information, and of course our interests. Google on the other hand only knows us by  what we search for, and what kind of news we are interested in. There may be no comparison between Google’s and Facebook’s personalization.

According to Facebook’s founder Zuckerberg  ” you have one identity.” Also in the book it states that ” you have one identity, it’s your Facebook identity, and it’s colors your experience everywhere you go.” According to Google “google news, and google’s ads determine the Google’s theory of you.”  Both statements offend me because we as individuals are so different, and unique, we have a different variety of personalities, mood swings, pleasures, each of us has a past that nether Facebook or Google knows. They can not base their theory of us just because we like to listen to a certain type of music, or watch particularly news that deal with science. I feel like both aren’t really trying to figure us out, but do the same thing our society does to everyone and that is just ” stereotype.”

Personally I agree with what it says in the book ” The Google self and the Facebook self, in other words, are pretty different people. There’s a big difference between ” you are what you click” and ” you are what you share.”” What they forgot to mention, and I personally think is the basic of our computerized generation is that we are ” our real selves vs our online selves ”
