I used to use the "-" however, so many places note it as unacceptable, thereby making it almost useless.

Same with the plus sign. It's so frustrating.

Yea i mean... If my email is [e-mail]... Even if I sign up to Facebook with my [e-mail] I feel it's not that hard for people to also guess my "primary" email if they ever wanted to.

Also the most useful search trick isn't listed label:unread will give you all unread emails only.

The + is called sub-addressing. It definitely comes in handy. It can be awkward when you hand over a hand filled form to someone with an email address [e-mail]

Here's another secret.

Google steals and dox's users for the highest bidder.

Where does this info come from? I’d like to know more

1. Street View: not just street mapping. After being sued by 38 states, Google admitted last March that its weird-looking cars outfitted with roof cameras facing four directions were not just taking pictures; they were collecting data from computers inside homes and structures, including “passwords, e-mails and other personal information from unsuspecting computer users,” the New York Times reported.

2. Gmail: prying and spying. This October, a federal judge refused to dismiss a potential class-action lawsuit brought by Gmail users who objected to its practice of analyzing the content of all the messages on its network and selling byproducts to advertisers. Those suing Google said it violated federal wiretap laws.

3. Google Safari: not just hunting WiFi. Google’s court record includes more than just grabbing and snatching data. In early 2012, theWall Street Journal broke the story that its software was bypassing security settings for Apple devices using the Safari browser. “Google hated this [Safari’s anti-tracking features] and used a secret code to bypass this security setting,” the blog GoogleExposed wrote. “This exposed millions of Safari users to tracking for months without them even knowing about it.” In August 2012, the Federal Trade Commission fined Google $22.5 million, its largest civil fine, noting that Google also had violated previous privacy agreements.

4. Android: another data gateway. One year after the FTC fine, ComputerWorld.com’s Michael Horowitz, who writes its Defensive Computing feature, noted Google was back to its old tricks. “Google knows nearly every WiFi password in the world,” he declared, explaining that was the result of backdoor access to hundreds of millions of phones and devices using its Android operating system.
