Blindsided Google Responds to Gmail Privacy Concerns

The login page of Gmail now sports two prominent links:

A few words about privacy and Gmail.

Read Gmail reviews and comments.

This, of course, comes as a result of Google's sluggish response to the media's overblown concerns about Gmail's supposed privacy intrusions. As you probably know, Google's upcoming webmail service pays for itself with AdSense ads that match the content of the e-mail being read by the user. The media had a heyday as they always do with privacy issues while totally missing the point, and Google didn't respond very quickly to quell privacy advocates' fears.

Perhaps only search engine marketers understand that there's nothing serious to worry about, that this contextual-ad practice is nothing new and that it's a fair trade for 1 gig of e-mail storage?
