How did google think I'm sharing that ?

ecaradec:
I've posted a link (was http://emmanuelcaradec.com/qatapult/bin ) to my project Qatapult  on https://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=29595.msg278557#msg278557 and google seems to know it relates to me sharing something.



I suppose it might have something to do that it's my own domain, or may be it does a link between my analytics or google website account. I don't know. I can ignore it, but it won't change the fact that google knows that. I really dislike the fact that I don't know how they guess that I shared something.

that's because Google wants to "search plus your world"! :D

actually that is pulled from Google+ profile. more info here..

ecaradec:
Actually that's not exactly the case : I didn't share that link on google+, or twitter, or facebook. I only mentioned it in a post on DC.

That's what is bugging me : it isn't at all something I shared. Google seems to knew that my domain name belong to me and that a link to my domain is something I shared. Anyone could have linked to my website, how did google knows that was me ?

you are logged in your gmail account.

be ready for the big brother.

i have a friend who clicked an advertisement in his gmail account and now that vendor follow him in every place ... haha.

he sold his live already to google :)

ecaradec:
Being logged into gmail shouldn't make a difference on DC because there is nothing that point to google there (I checked that ). Google shouldn't be able to send data to google from DC except that I use google chrome but that would require chrome to send data to google to check for every page I go. That seems very evil to me.
