Earlier 
I was awarded another invite by Google Mail, which I delivered to the blogger known as GenX40. In an exchange he wondered what was amazing about this Google Mail. The 1000 MB, I answered. Plus some other things.
For example, I’m amazed about the Adsense technology. In another e-mail exchange with the brother, he quickly pointed out (after I loudly wondered how many invites a user gets and if this number was related to the number of e-mails received or sent) that:
I think it is linked with the ads, so here’s one
very easy for the gmail service.
I want to travel to Granada, Spain, by airplane, how much does that
cost? Any cheap four stars hotels near Hospital Real?
A couple of e-mails later we ended up with the results as shown on the right/above. Naturally, Google’s algorithms aren’t optimized, so some resulting links may look off, or even funny. Imagine the future: Google News right on your side: Just when you were discussing the taste of a banana in your lunchpack with your e-mail pal, Google reports that the market for bananas has crashed. What would Superman do?
Is this kind of technology privacy invading? I’m not on expert in that area, but I don’t truly think it is. It’s like overhearing a colleague and offering him advice not to watch that stupid movie. I’m sure the colleague would appreciate the fact that the market for bananas has crashed.
