I ordered a DNA test from 23andMe, the company Google invested in and is owned by Google co-founder, Sergey Brin's wife.
The reason I bought the tests were because I saw from Matt Cutts that there was a heavy discount. So I decided, what the heck, why not order them. Then decide if I want to take the test or not. I joked in my tweet that Google would get my DNA:
RT @mattcutts: 23andMe is selling their $499 DNA testing for $99 for today only: http://bit.ly/avoR1a (sweet, google has my dna) ;-)
Yea, I know they are separate companies, but hey - they are close. Like I said above, Google invested in and is owned by Google co-founder, Sergey Brin's wife.
That being said, who knows - maybe my Google search results will go beyond normal personalization and include my DNA for personalization. Hey - you never know!

Hi, Google are blocking our IP each tip we run ranking reports, how do you get around this issue without having to have multiple ISP's?
