Have you been Scroogled by Google? (Yes, scroogle is a real word).

In a new ad sweeping the nation, Microsoft is bringing it to your attention that you may be one of the many getting "scroogled" by Google. Of course, they're pushing their own product, Outlook.com, who doesn't go through your email to sell ads. Applause to Microsoft...you finally came up with a catchy, must see commercial!

"Think Google respects your privacy? Think again.

Google goes through every Gmail that's sent or received, looking for keywords so they can target Gmail users with paid ads. And there's no way to opt out of this invasion of your privacy. Outlook.com is different—we don't go through your email to sell ads."
