Should I be expecting an uncomfortable talk with the security services due to your new found opinions Oli?

Expect a knock on the door. A lad we know is doing his Masters in modern history (?) on extremism. MI5 were very interested in his browsing history. And very sympathetic when he failed the medical part of the job application.

Curious how Facebook determines what to show in the "related articles" beneath content? Here is Facebook's response:

"We have a set of different algorithms to generate related articles. These filter and rank based on the percent of related words, number of likes, click through rate, and domain related signals. It's a newer product, so it's still improving!"

So no, Facebook actually thinks that stuff is related to Rockshox RS1.

definitely the case as I have gone through about 20 other facebook links and all give me stuff related to the link (eg funny cat videos, gives more funny cat videos) - I also got my housemate to check - he got the same related links, on both the wifi and the mobile networks!

That is shocking. 'Colourway' indeed. Something needs to be done

I can't agree more - the word colourway sends shivers up my spine!

Colourway did make me recoil in horror. I think someone at Singletrack towers needs privileges revoking.

“They mentioned that they do this about 100 times a week. And that 99 of those visits turn out to be nothing.”

🙂

Better to be safe and all that.

My favourite bike-related joke of the week. 😆

Kind of. IS is the real standard not ISIS (a BB standard*) but whatever, whatever...I get the joke. 😉

But really bumped the thread to enquire as to the relevance of Brant's post other than the obvious absurdity of search history coincidence and resulting 'scrutiny'...

The phrase "black in pink" raised an expectant eyebrow. Is disappoint.

Passed a guy at Grizedale a few weeks back riding a brand new Santa Cruz in similar black and pink "colourway" - was dying to ask why he was riding his wife's bike....
