JOINING THE SA FORUMS WILL REMOVE THIS BIG AD, THE ANNOYING UNDERLINED ADS, AND STUPID INTERSTITIAL ADS!!!

You can: log in, read the tech support FAQ, or request your lost password. This dumb message (and those ads) will appear on every screen until you register! Get rid of this crap by registering your own SA Forums Account and joining roughly 150,000 Goons, for the one-time price of $9.95! We charge money because it costs us money per month for bills, and since we don't believe in showing ads to our users, we try to make the money back through forum registrations.

the weird thing is that google actually fundamentally understood human interaction better than twitter or facebook, which is pretty loving amazing in a couple of ways.

that's because they have all that ad data so they know how you connect already.

I think that's mostly to encourage people not on the platform to join with as much real info as possible. they also probably don't want to promote a network of people anonymous to each other since it leads to discussions that are less relevant to advertisers.

they keep it specific to the signed in user, but its definitely tracking that you use both identities and then correlating them across devices
