I have an acquaintance who recently sent me an email from a google account, its an anonymous account (in the sense that the name cannot be connected to place of origin...).
This guy resides a particular town, and the funny thing was when i opened his email, the text ads on the side were related to the town where the guy lives... in none of his correspondence with me has this person mentioned the name of the town or even the country where the town is... Isnt this a dangerous way to present text-ads...? in the sense that someone could be using a gmail account for anonymous correspondence purposes.. and the person receiving the email could deduce where the anonymous corrspondent could be from based on the ads presented ? (many online guides e.g. http://advocacy.globalvoicesonline.org/projects/guide/ recommend gmail as sufficiently anonymous...) ashok
