Some Gmail users are disturbed that Google appears to be sending e-mails using their names. The messages encourage friends of theirs not on Gmail to use Google products.
We are not only the product these days. We are also the product marketers.
Yet some Gmail users have, in recent days, become increasingly upset that Google appears to be using their names in order to sell Google products to non-Gmail users.
A Google forum discussion offers the spontaneous distaste of users who claim that Google has co-opted them as salespersons.
"STOP IT!" reads a post from someone with the handle Mrcheck. "At no point did I say it was ok for google to send email messages to my non-gmail contacts recommending they sign up for gmail."
The contents of the e-mails are reproduced on the forum. The subject line is "(My Name) wants to chat."
