> "Checking promotions on Gmail"? er, what's creepy about looking at the promotions tab in gmail? I'd suggest watching how other people use email once or twice. My mother has a number of emails from companies that I would consider outright spam (signed up for at purchase time of whatever) but she looks at them nearly every time for good deals. I used to think this behavior was crazy until I bought some nicely tailored clothes at a smaller shop online and started getting "sale" and new product emails from them and I...didn't immediately mark them as spam. I now read them regularly even though I rarely buy from them, even if just to get ideas for clothing.
