Default Google Ads
What does everyone think of the Google ads?

From the clickthrough rates, it seems like many people are finding them useful.

Tell me what you think.

i think the privacy concerns over gmail are overhyped. I mean, basically, a spam filter is going to be doing the same thing that the ad-server does. If you don't have a problem w/ spamfilters, then why content based ads? I mean, i do see the argument, but i think it is overhyped. otoh, who still needs ANOTHER email account?

I'm seriously tired of hearing people complain about privacy concerns with Gmail. If people are worried about privacy, then don't f**king sign up for a Gmail account. It is as easy as that.
