Smash, you might notice that you can't sign up for gmail yet.

Around every 2 weeks or so, we get an invite to give to someone.

Wow, does that make it less free? Just so we're clear here, this would be an invite to a free email service that seaches all of the text in every email you read or write to provide context specefic adds in the interface.

Why on earth could you want to beta test that for Google for free?

Like full access to all of your past email for advertisers to glean for information.

And when you delete an email it is never really deleted so its always available for other people to look up.

Oh and after 180 days your email is no longer protected communication under the Electronic Communications Privacy Act and since you can't delete it that means every email that ever passes through the system.

Yay for privacy! Wheres my tinfoil hat!

Yea, now, if it was Hotmail, I would be worried. If it was a company I don't know, I would be worried.


Considering one of the people I work with today was one of the people contracted to set up Google, and still has ties within the company, I'm not worried.

I've had gmail since before anything was on the gmail.com domain.

I know people at Google.

I also know they're not going to do anything that warrants privacy concerns. Unless everyone but the top brass is being lied to.

Do you honestly think that it's possible to hide the sort of transaction that selling e-mails would account to? Gmail is going to be big. Buying all of the emails would cost upwards of 500,000. I can tell you right now, the staff at Google would notice if their company was suddenly half a mil+ richer.


This isn't slashdot. Go troll about privacy there. I'm sure some of the AC will listen.

You know EVERYONE BUT THE TOP BRASS? Damn, you must know a family of Cambodians that works for Google.

I think that a company that's on the verge of an IPO will do everything it can in the runup to said IPO to show profitability so the market cap is as high as possible.

Gmail has no advantage over Yahoo, except storage. When I get to the point where I have over 100mb of email stored, I'll download into Kmail. I'm personally not willing to trade an active database intentionally searching every word in my email to coordinate adds for that.

Ever.

If you think the NSA won't have access to that database day one you're stunningly naive.

Actually, I'm gonna say that Google would NEVER intentionally let this happen. The culture from top to bottom there is totally against that type of thing.

But, that isn't to say that the NSA couldn't access it on their own without Google's approval.

No one would intentionaly let it happen. The main diffrence between Gmail and Yahoo or whomever, is that while Yahoo scans email to prevent spam, they're not building a database of how many times individual words are used in email. Google is.

If you're the NSA, and you're scanning as much email text as you can anyway, and someone builds in a database that does it for you, wouldn't you be slightly intrested in just getting the distilled word count results?

You seem to say that like the NSA would care about approval. If they ever do "ask" for approval it's only a formailty and chances are they would already have everything they needed.

Remember in cases such as the FBI, IRS, etc. approval must be obtained before anything can be done within any situation. In the case of the NSA they only ask when they want to smile for the camera. Other then that they are more then happy to kick down your door take what they want and cover it up in whatever color skittles they feel match the furniture.

Not flamming, just pointing out. Bored at work mostly.
