Bing showed my face when I did a search. (Pic included)

I never had any kind of msn account ever.

I dont have a facebook in my name nor any
with my pics on it.

I just did a search to see if my niche finder
review page I just created was on page 1.
(It was.)

In the top right corner bing showed my pic
with a message.

The only place I put this pic was on my
google+ page.

Here is the pic & message...

I wonder how Bing knew it was me searching?

    That's just freaky. TMI. I'd think it would be time for you to get the FF Better Privacy pluggin - it looks like your machine might be loaded with Super (LSO) Cookies. Even CrapCleaner won't take those out.

      Very freaky indeed. Right name & right person in pic.

      However, my laptop is brand new and just got the internet transferred to the new house on the 12'th of this month.

    Google "super cookies".

    They're not just for breakfast, anymore.

      I love it! But it's still better if you eat them with milk and earlier in the day. Peristalsis factor, I think.

      Of course, they would never show MY mug. Computer screens everywhere would start cracking and popping.

      It's not enough to want it... you have to want it enough.

        The facebook tentacles reach far and wide. There aren't many sites that don't have a feed or link to facebook in some way, shape or form.

        It's kind of annoying. To me anyway. I find that I have to turn on my puter then make sure everything is not logged in, before I can start working. Or else I'm getting pinged, dinged and messaged and texted and alerted etc.

        It's just too much. So many privacy laws now and yet we have no privacy. Go figure.

        Tony.

      Yeah that may be where they got it from.

      But this was a product review search on the web.
      Not a search on my name in images.

    Are you sure you didn't post that picture on Facebook? Seems like its an ad for Bing Social's new features. As long as you're logged into Facebook that ad shows unless you disable it.

      Good thinking. 1 of my fb pages do have my first name with a different last name.

      Don't know why I thought none of my fb pages have my name. I was logged into it earlier. Exited out of the tab but didn't hit the log out button. Didn't think nothing else about it.

      Pretty cool of FB although it was a bit freaky.
