I just watched this TED Talk and found it very interesting, basically highlighting how web companies customize services for
 us with the result that we are trapped in a "filter 
bubble" and don't get exposed 
to the same information.<br>

<br>I was surprised to see how two different people, based on their interests, got dramatically different results about Egypt when the protests were going on (for some the protests didn&#39;t even show up!)  (at 2:38)<br>
