07/24/08 17:45 - 72ºF - ID#45128Category: workGoogleSo yeah, I'm sitting here at my desk at work and I get a phone call:
"Hi. Is this Jon Kiddy? My name is Kevin, I'm from Google and I'd like to talk to you about a document you downloaded regarding Corporate Compliance. Are you able to make decisions regarding compliance at Roswell Park?"
I said, yeaaaah, I just browsed a document on compliance recently (I think yesterday) about compliance for PCI regarding SSL. But I'm just a programmer, just hunting down some info like I do everyday as part of my job when needed.
He said, oh ok. Can I send a follow up email to you to pass along to your superiors regarding corporate compliance?
Sure, why not...
So yeah, I then get an email sent to my Roswell email (which I never game them) saying thanks for the small talk, here is his contact info. Apparently Kevin is the Regional Marketing Representative for North America from Google Enterprise...
I mean, where did this guy get my phone number, my email, and my name from? And more importantly, how did he know I was looking up that stuff recently?
Well, as a programmer, it is easy to guess where since Google is slowly taking over the world one Google Search at a time.
Scary stuff, imo.
