Always there, but perhaps not so noticeable before. The Google ads beside my Gmail inbox. I had just finished reading an incredible email from a parent who is single-handedly leading the online engagement of parents at her school. I often write about this in my blog and have information in the Parent 2.0 wiki. As my eyes completed reading my mail I glanced to the side of my screen and saw this:

About these links
The links are clearly linked to the common material in my emails. When you check About these links Google describes how it uses a completely automated process to provide us with information relevant to us. The automation is to make us comfortable that another human isn’t watching our lives unfold in our email.
But I’m equally not comfortable that a machine is reading my mail. My mail has been botted, and it’s given me pause.
