It's great ? Aug 30, 2004

"It`s great."



Did it ever occur to you that in order to send matching ads the messages have to be *read* ? ("Read" like in : no confidential messages anymore)

Just a thought, but be careful with what you send.

Yeah, obviously it "occurred" to me and frankly, it doesn`t bother me. A machine reading my emails? As long as there is no *person* reading my emails, as Google states, I really could not give a cucumber. Here`s some information from Google about their policies on this, if you`re interested:

In the Help and Privacy Statement documents, Google says:

"Google is NOT reading your mail. Privacy is an issue we take very seriously. Gmail is a technology-based program. Advertising and related information are shown using a completely automated process. Ads are selected for relevance and served by Google computers using the same contextual advertising technology that powers our AdSense program. This technology enables Google to effectively target dynamically changing content, such as email, or news stories."

...

"You've reached this page because you chose to read more about ads and related pages delivered by Google. Ads in Gmail are placed in the same way that ads are placed alongside Google search results and, through the Google AdSense program, on content pages across the web.

Related information provides relevant information from sites in Google's extensive index of web pages.

Gmail is a technology-based program. Advertising and related information are shown using a completely automated process. Ads are selected for relevance and served by Google computers using the same contextual advertising technology that powers our AdSense program. This technology enables Google to effectively target dynamically changing content, such as email, or news stories.

No humans will read the content of your email in order to target such advertisements or related information. Because the ads and Related Pages are matched to information that is of interest to you, we hope you'll find them relevant and useful.

Your Privacy

Google does not and will never rent, sell or share information that personally identifies you for marketing purposes without your express permission. No email content or other personally identifiable information will be provided to advertisers.

Privacy is an issue we take very seriously. Only ads classified as Family-Safe are distributed through our content network and to your Gmail inbox. For example, Google would block certain ads from running next to an email about catastrophic news."

5 more invitations to offer! Aug 30, 2004

Hello Colleagues,

Believe it or not, Google has offered me 5 more invitations yet again! The third time in five days! I must really be a trusted customer now. I am passing them on to you. I would like to give the invitations to people who will really use or benefit from the account. Therefore, I ask that you follow these requests in emailing me:

1)Please write me through proz mail.
2) Be logged in when writing me (i.e. a member of proz.com)
3) Send me a short sentence or two about why you want the account or how it might benefit you (This doesn`t have to be a big deal, I just want to make sure the accounts go to the people who really will use them.)

I will send out an invitation to the first five (5) people who follow these instructions.

Sorry to put up "rules", I just want to be sure that the invitations go to people who will best be served by them.

Saludos.

David

4 Gmail invitations to offer Aug 31, 2004

Hi all,
I have got a Gmail offer from David (many thanks to David) and alrady got 6 invitaions to offer! 2 invitations have already claimed, so I have 4 invitaions left to offer you. This is like a chain reaction. every new gmail user is getting 6 invitaions to offer. This way, I think all members of Proz.com (who are interested) can get a gmail account. If you are interested to get one, pls email me informing your first and last name, and your current email address.
