How the hell did something I discussed on the phone appear in my Facebook newsfeed?

I was chatting with this girl the other night I met from craigslist and she was saying she was from a section of PA called Lansdale. All of a sudden I have events popping up in my news feed about what's happening in Lansdale this weekend? HUH?


I need someone to talk to me about what's really happening

I'm not sure I totally understand your question.....

Chatting with someone online, your IP Addresses can be exchanged, but I'm not sure how a phone conversation can get into your news feed!
Online conversation yes, but phone, not sure

Getting popups from Lansdale-- could come from when you were on craigslist with the girl from Lansdale.....kind of like clicking on an ad and then getting popups from that ad later on.

Here is another article that might help:

I was going to ask you if it was a cell phone or a land line(??)....but, since it was google...that really does explain it.
Just remember, EVERYTHING you do online is TRACKABLE EVERYTHING.
It also is permanent, just like this conversation.
(Just ask Hillary Clinton, even though she wiped her server clean, it is still there.)

Even on your cell phone, (pictures,texts,tweets, not sure about voice conversations.) be very careful. A friend of mine said he saw a picture taking from his "cell phone" appeared online, and wasn't sure how it got online.

just as a general rule, Google tracks everything you do and uses that information accordingly.

Facebook tracks every web page you visit, every internet search, every item you look at buying, it uses facial recognition to match and identify every image you post and cross reference it to their database - it knows so very much more about everything you do than you would imagine, and they are allowed to do whatever they want with that information because every time you click a link on any Facebook page you implicitly agree to the terms of their contract and any future changes they deem necessary.

Also of note, if you are currently using AVG Antivirus, as of October they are now watching every move you make online as well - you would be better off switching to a different Antivirus as soon as possible.

This happens all the time on Facebook. Every time that I do a search on Google the ad pops up on Facebook. I can't see any way around it!
