AVR-Chat

The ads from goole are actually pretty innocuous. They appear over on
the right hand side of your read-message pane. No graphics, just text.

And the part I find really interesting, is that ads are targeted based
on the content of your email. Normally, I ignore ads, because they have
absolutely nothing to do with anything I'm interested in. The google
ads, are often directly relevant to what I'm doing, and I've clicked on
several.

The google ads are VERY much LESS annoying than the yahoo ones on the
newsgroups.
