I’ve had three different people state that Gmail that I’ve sent has found it’s way into spam folders this week.

Since this is happening on multiple platforms now (Yahoo! Mail/Gmail), I have to ask the question, how is the email spam crisis going to resolve itself?

This job description seems to indicate the future acquisition of new land for more Googleplex locations….

1)  Responsible for overseeing all aspects of Google’s new building program in Northern California.

2) Experience in with campus development projects required.

Anyone have ideas where this might be located or have information about the plans?  Do tell.
