Received an email from Google today "to become a member of our panel of beta testers."

It looks legit, but has anyone else received one of these as well?

Should I be honoured?

I havn't recived one, sounds dodgy to me, but what could be the worst that could happen? cept maybe havin your adsense account robbed... why dont you search google, for somthing that may relate to the email like "google beta panel test" or sumamt like that if you get me. if there sendin out an email there must be an article somewere...

Well the fax number they are asking me to send the form to checks out and they are not asking me for any personal info, just a name and sign and fax back to them.

You know they really should provide some kind of verification on these emails or send them through your Adsense account.

Maybe thats a suggestion I could make!

I'm having one of those extremely fast typing days!

It doesn't happen that often.

Yes, you should be honored that they hand picked you to test the most annoying ads to ever hit the internet and chase off your visitors.

I'm sure I'm never getting the invite since I opt out of everything ;)

Yeah...I'm guessing it will be fun to test floating ads and pop-unders.

Geez...I wish Google wouldn't entertain the thought of using those.
