Someone sent me an invite for another email I have, however I already have a GMAIL account so I can set one up with a random password which you can change. First person to reply gets it.

it has afeature called ADword, whenever you send an email out its scanned by google and if any certain keywords were type in oyur emails they send you ads on what you typed so if you siad hey man i just got a Sony cd player, bam youll get an ad for a sony its a really gay feature, also there are rumors that the government will use this technology to spy on people to make sure there are no terrorists useing gmail, so i would seriously watch what you say.

Google does scan all your email in order to add ads, i really don't think it's a bad idea and all this is kept pretty secure.

I suppose google have to make some money out of it, common, they are giving a 1GB email account to you for free, a couple of ads are prolly worth it. Just my 2p!
