Controlling ad content with the Microsoft Personal Data Dashboard Beta!

http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/wmexperts/~3/6khKTY-PWoY/story01.htm

“Online ads can be annoying and it appears Microsoft is working on a way to focus these ads more towards your likes and away from your dislikes. We ran across the Microsoft Personal Data Dashboard that will let you filter out the unwanted ads and let those you might be interested in through. These filters will likely impact ads you see over on Outlook.com and on your Windows Phone.

The Dashboard has several sections or tabs with the main tab reflecting your Windows Live Profile. Additional sections include:

My Data: Here is where you can tag your interests and dislikes from a wide variety of topics. You can also narrow down your likes and dislikes to the brand names of products.

The My Data page also lets you view your Bing search history and any Microsoft Newsletters you are currently subscribed to.
