Seems consistent with the way Google likes to make its money - by helping advertisers to target their messages more effectively. What's the betting this accellerator eventually starts feeding 'relevant commercial messages' into the web pages you view ...
I have no objection to the ads in their search results, heck I don't even mind them stringing ads down the side of my gmail messages, but I don't want them compiling a dossier on me, or potentially altering third-party information I wish to view on line, in pursuit of their profits.
