Have you heard of WEB MINING? How BIG companies really study us, netizens.

in webmining •  8 years ago 

All of us who are internet users are feeding the web with a lot of data may it be about our favorite colors, country of origin, educational attainment, employers, vacations, and may more...we create our virtual identity which are collated by the origin of the community. It could be done by Facebook, Twitter, or even by our very own, steemit. The more we provide them with our data, the more valuable and expensive it gets. And, big companies who can afford to purchase all our information will then use it to analyse and get to know more of their consumers. We are being studied with every click or input we provide. You can just imagine how much they know about all their users.
