Email Wars: Gmail Vs. Office 365

Google Plus is built on its GMail base. Thus, they’re trying to actively market their email through these ‘email intervention’ ads above. I got one (in my GMail, oddly enough) and I found it just annoying. Though, like any advertising, it will have some results. Even Spam and that Nigerian stuff works some of the time. What I didn’t realize was that Microsoft had fired a salvo back, via the Office 365 video below. Ironically, it’s hosted on YouTube, owned by Google.

Office 365 is a paid service. So technically they should abstain from mining for data. But I’d still read the privacy statement and terms. The intervention campaign WAS annoying!
