Google

Funny that Skippy and I were talking about this today.

Google: Why do we let this creepy company spy on our emails? | Mail Online

"The adverts were being specifically targeted at me because of what I had written in a private email to a friend."

Why I dislike google....and facebook does the same thing too.

Gmail is incredible. I could care less about adds. Plus I use Thunderbird and my iPhone so I never use the web based gmail page where the adds pop up.
