I like how Google plays innocent with just putting forward broad categories, whereas in reality they more than likely know everything from your shoe size to your favourite sauce on your bacon sarnie.

Don't stop at Google -- check out other ad profiles, too:

I agree with your dashboard prediction. If I’m interpreting this correctly maybe what I wrote in my blog will make sense to you…. Warning: I was excited when I wrote it.

Yes, of course, forgot about that Patrick. Thanks. Then again, there’s the problem of bringing all my Google (and other) “identities” together, I must have five Google IDs across different emails over the years….

John,

"I was hoping for more - because Google has a lot more information about us than just our advertising preferences (think of how you use Google apps like Docs, or Gmail, or Google+, or Search, or....)."

You can find all this info, related to your @gmail account, on the Google Dashboard ! This actually shows how many e-mails conversations are in Gmail, how many Docs you have, and even insights into your Search trends (i.e. how many searches do you do every day ? month ? which week day do you search the most ? etc...)
