Serving better ads in Gmail

Ever since we launched Gmail, we've tried to show relevant and unobtrusive ads. We're always trying to improve our algorithms to show better, more useful ads, and this video describes some changes we made to how we serve ads in Gmail.

I used to have adblock plus until I started working for an ad agency.

"To show these ads, we don't need to store any NEW information."

Yes because you already store all possible information from each and every email people send and receive.

This moron is describing it as a feature. They read your email and create a database for ad relevancy specific to you. It's not important that humans don't read it for now, they store data even emails are deleted and anything happen in future including that data is compromised.

Emails can tell all about your life and you let google learn, store and use it forover. I am amazed that only a few people are worried after they acknowledged that they wrote an application to stole wifi emails/passwords

they couldn't have found a creeper looking guy to tell us that the Google Bot is reading out personal emails?

Even if you ignore the fact that the advertisements are sketchy and intrusive, one must admit that they have a lot of gall to state that their advertising--which is obviously beneficial for them--is somehow done specifically for your benefit.

How about no ads - that would really be better.

I don't like this new system. I'd rather see public service ads.
