One of the reasons I hesitated in getting a @gmail.com account was the early buzz that Google was going to serve advertisements based on the content of your messages (easily inferred was the idea that “they” were reading your mail before you did).
I got over it but now I take great amusement in just how comprehensive Google’s cross-marketing algorithims can be. Well, what else would you call the article/news bar at the top of the page giving me recipes that use Spam™ while I’m in my spam folder?

Or perhaps corporate Google actually has the sense of humor it is widely reputed to have. Either way, it made me laugh, and laugh even harder when I realized that Spicy Spam Kabobs weren’t the only recipe available.
I loves me some google stuff! Also, did you know you can turn off the stuff at the top? Yep, you can. I have on both of my accounts!
