Yesterday I was updating a jazz website [http://www.spinjazz.com] with the
latest season’s details. I also added the various gig details to our local
newspaper’s Events website and did the same to the Wozzon website too.
Now the club is not huge, but we do get some very good people, although not
the very big names, anyway we open with Empirical
[http://www.myspace.com/empiricalmusic] on Thursday 22/4.
This morning I got an email from Amazon, highlighting all eight of
Empirical’s albums.
AFAICR I’ve never done a search on Amazon for Empirical, although I do
search for music quite a lot.
So do people think this only a random coincidence or are they collecting
data from more sources than we think and making the link back to email using
some fuzzy logic, or perhaps something more sinister?
I suppose it could be mildly innocent, in that they know I live in Oxford
[my mailing address], I have searched for jazz before, the gig is in Oxford
and they have loads of albums by the band to sell so they simply join my
email with the band?
I’ll keep an eye on upcoming gigs and see if I get a targeted email in the
coming weeks.
Best wishes Peter
