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.
trust my mail with Steve Ballmer, no thanks, I know what Google is doing with my email, but i don’t know what M% does.
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!
i’m not sold on this cloud office stuff. do people really need this
