Google's new Gmail ads
I noticed an icon in my Gmail sidebar above one of the traditional ads.
I think this is new. Newish. The result is a new type of ad that looks like an email message.
As Google says;
Have you seen this before?
What do you think of the approach? I quite like it; it feels like a natural social ad and has the potential to be a word of mouth/recommendation too. At the same time it doesn't get in the way of my Gmail experience and does not feel creepy.

It's a new type of ad that you can save to your inbox or forward on. If you dimiss this ad, you won't see it again."
