I suppose if you have an uncommon name, this might work. As a 40 year old Socialist ex punk rocker vegan DBA in NYC, I was presented with topics covering evangelical Christianity and country music. When I ticked all these off, it just started presenting me with vague topics like "search engine", "Microsoft", "mp3", "New Zealand" and "Canada", which I was expected to rate according to my "interests". Do I have any specific interest in Canada or Google? I have a facebook, myspace, flickr, accounts on all the major web portals, a history of using the interwebz back to 1994, and have run dozens of mailing lists and websites. And this is the best they can do? Sorry, just doesn't work. Wow, what a bust. I suppose if you have an uncommon name, this might work.
