Now Gmail means Google, and Google means targeted advertising. The content of messages I send and receive using my Gmail account is mined and relevant ads appear on the sidebar of my email message. It's like their reading my mind! Well, actually, it's like they're reading my emails. No, it's not like that... they really are reading my emails, so be careful what you write me. Anyway, the long point I'm making is that the dual-entry blog by Skot about Lake Tahoe, The Godfather, and Film Noir yielded only ads about vacationing in Lake Tahoe, buying timeshares in Lake Tahoe, and investing in real estate in Lake Tahoe. Oh, and Chevy Tahoes (they're clearing out last year's model... now's the time to save!) I guess Skot was right... there were no ads about filming in Lake Tahoe, DVD rentals for movies shot on location in Lake Tahoe, and no ads about theme parks. Funny, there weren't any ads about casinos, either.
