I decided to have a look on eBay by searching for Gmail on there...
It brings up 1937 results, someone's trying to sell [email protected] for $999, while loads of invites are being sold for about $3 each!
[email protected] is going for $99! Why?!? It's crap!
Has anyone else got an account yet, I got in there pretty early and I've nabbed a VERY good email address.
Let's just say it isn't phi11ip.

Who looks at them? The message is scanned by the computer just like a spam filtering program will do. In fact spam filtering software looks at the message more, not only does it scan the text if will scan the sender, their IP, everything...
It's basically like Yahoo mail, just on the right hand side there's a small banner with Google links like you get on websites. It just gets keywords from the text and places relevant ads, nothing is taken out of it and filed.
That google's new e-mail service, correct?
Well, have fun, at least my e-mail's won't be looked at and spammed with adverts constantly....
