Word gets around

When someone used to say “Word gets around” this would be in a matter of days, this was before the telephone. Now though it must be pretty instantaneous. I posted some tweets last night, and lo and behold the next morning I had an Amazon ad in my email with much of the verbiage of the text of the tweets repeated in the choice of books that Amazon was recommending. I know this is internet marketing at its best; but it is a little disconcerting.
