...well I hate to drag up old threads, but I finally caught up to the rest of the world and got a gmail account. I read the article and it sounds like the typical fluff.... and possibly someone wanting to get their name mentioned/recognition for "protecting our privacy".
Free service that we agree to? Sounds like all bets are off and I'd wager that yahoo and msn do more intrusive scanning/tracking than google. Anyway, the latest KB/faq/privacy statement page seems pretty reasonable. If I'm reading an email about boston terriers it might be cool to have some generated links to the right.
All email I want to keep really private is encrypted and stored on another domain anyway..
Passing a broad-scope bill (unless they've significantly changed it) is a very bad move in my book. That just opens the door for more waste-of-time legislation.
So onto gmail features: seems pretty damn cool so far. I absolutely love the hotkeys, killer search and grouping.
