"if Google can scan our emails for relevant ads, what prevents them from scanning my financial spreadsheets stored on their server farm for "relevant offers"?
I hate constantly screening out ads that do not apply.
Information targetted to my needs or situation? That is a welcome change. Google's adbot notices my credit cards are at 12% interest, and throws up a pre-approved offer for 0% interest on balance transfers. Hell yea, what a great service.
