If you thought retargeting ads were already creepy, be prepared for them to get even creepier. Recode reports that LinkedIn announced new ad products today, including one type of ad unit that can reach LinkedIn users on websites other than LinkedIn.LinkedIn Network Display, the name of the new ad product, lets users buy ads through LinkedIn to be displayed on other sites around the web.
