Hey guys, yesterday, i was checking my mails. and i got a text ad, which was exactly what my password is. does google also scrap your passwords for ad targeting. i have put the screen shot and some description my page. busini.wordpress.com/2009/02/03/privacy-concern-on-google/ i am just wondering, is it just a co-incidence or some thing else.?
I wouldn't put it past Google to try something like this. They will use any of your information to try to earn more ad revenue from you. If they are indeed doing this, it is a shady practice that I don't agree with. In some settings this could have security implications.
also i heard somewhere that external apps can connect google with google API's and can use google login id's and passwords to log in their applications. in these case are they sharing passwords or just the authentication?
