Are You Getting Screwed Online?

Just wondering if you are getting different web pages when you go online. Let us know what you think.

Here's my story (what's yours?).  So I go to Delta.com to check out a flight. On Monday, the flights are around $500 through Atlanta to my destination to Savannah.  The next day there are NO, Zero, flights appearing through Atlanta and most flights through New York (air traveler's nightmare) at double the price, more than $800.  My travel agent however finds a flight for $400 through Atlanta and I book it.

My brilliant co-author Julie says when she Googles "Egypt" she gets demonstrations and when her wealthy world traveling sister Googles "Egypt" she gets tourism sites. What do you think?  Something fishy going on with search?

It's called social search.

Tell me you knew this already. Google tracks it all. :) I mean, all.
