Google Mail surprised me this morning with an ad at the top of my email instead of a normal web clip:

Web Clip Ad

I guess that Google is trying to eke a little more revenue out of Gmail. I wonder what the actual click through rate is though. I don't think that I have ever clicked on a Gmail ad. It doesn't seem like it would be part of the normal flow of reading email for most people.

    Go to Settings -> Web Clips where you can turn it off or edit the feeds that generate it, which include RSS feeds and the like. So when you are trying to ignore that bit of mail, you can twiddle through the webclips (using the left right arrows) and feel like you are being productive. Great procastination tool. :)
