Google scans your emails and generates ads pertaining to what you wrote in your email
 

Try it for yourself.

If you have 2 gmail accounts. Send an email saying you hope they feel better after the operation at so and so hospital.

Then reply.

Did you get a proflowers ad? :Oh crap

Yes. Google has always stated this.

who the fuck cares
as long as its a computer reading my shit and my privacy is intact i dont care

Ummmm, am I crazy or isn't this common knowledge? Get ready for the time line pics!

NEWSFLASH: GOOGLE ALSO GENERATES ADS IN THEIR SEARCH ENGINE BASED ON YOUR SEARCH STRING!!!!

:disgust

It's in their terms.

Rather clever really.. :thumbsup

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

not exactly. if you read their terms carefully, unless they have changed since beta, it says that e-mail messages can be archived and a human editor may at one point in time read through SOME (not necessarily yours) to ensure that the ads are in agreement with the content.

this is why i never bothered with beta. perhaps now they've changed that in their tos.

besides that... this is as much news as saying bush invaded iraq....

yup and I don't have a problem with it because it's helped me find services that I was kind of looking for anyways by showing me targeted ads...

oh fukin please

poll 100 people on the street and no one will have a clue as to what you are talking abt
