In order to keep track of my thoughts on different things I’m working on, I use Google Notebook. So today wanting to jot down some ideas, I logged into notebook and I was greeted with a new note–one that I haven’t written myself. Sure enough, it was advertising! I was totally appalled by this. Google took the liberty to add an ad as a note. Is this any different than SPAM?
Has Google Gone Too Far
The question we have to ask ourselves as we keep moving our data to the cloud is how much are we losing? Is the gain worth the loss of freedom? Also, what’s next from Google? Are they going to start creating messages SPAM in our Gmail accounts on behalf of advertisers. Are they going to start just SPAMMING?!
I hope my fears are unjustified.
