    Is Gmail really so creepy?

    Today I came across a site, http://gmail-is-too-creepy.com, which talked about how Google keeps records of everything you do and the likes. I'd like to know how much of this is true, this site doesn't seem extremely objective about Gmail, but I'd like to know for sure. Does anyone have any information about this?

    Most of this is paranoic B.S. but, like most pranks, there is just enough truth in the article to help it sound believable.

    Thanks. I'm just wondering and can't find this anywhere. Does Gmail send those ads along with the e-mail you send?

    In any event, I'll just try it out when it becomes available.

    Im not sure, i havnt read up on it for ages.

    Last i heard ads would be included in the email message based on the content of the message.

    Dont know if anything is changed.
