Microsoft Attacks Google, Again | |
|

| Time: 03:55 EST/08:55 GMT | News Source: ActiveWin.com | Posted By: Byron Hinson | ||

Microsoft is using its Scroogled.com domain to take jabs at Google again. Google's Gmail recently began serving ads in its revamped inbox feed, and Microsoft's letting Big G have it. "Google spams your inbox with ads that look like real emails," Scroogled proclaims, complete with a video and slideshow that illustrate how Google is placing ads at the top of the new Promotions tab of the updated Gmail platform. To be fair, it is a bit jarring. The ads are clearly identified at the top of the inbox - set apart from the incoming email with its lightly colored background - but it's something that will take some getting used to. Unlike the emails that can be checked off on the left and deleted, the ads get nixed on the right side of the feed. Instinctively clicking on the left will merely open up the ad. The sponsored spots also can't be labeled as spam, even though that's how many users may feel about the situation. | ||
