Google GMail Goes Wonky
February 1, 2009
It’s been a tough January 31, 2009, for the addled goose. As noted early this morning, one of the world’s smartest people at Google muffed the bunny, marking sites as malware. Then Digital Lifestyle’s Simon Perry noted that GMail was marking good messages as spam. You can read his story “Google’s Gmail Now Freaking Out: Mis-marking Mail As Spam” here. He wrote:
Gmail appears to be putting legitimate emails in the Spam folder and also showing the following warning message above many emails …Warning: This message may not be from whom it claims to be. Beware of following any links in it or of providing the sender with any personal information.
Yep, Googzilla is really good at details. The world’s smartest people had it right. Those emails were probably spam to the smart algorithms that Googlers create.
