Quite frankly, I'd actually watch more commercials if the right commercials were playing during the shows I like to watch. I don't see any harm in this. <br><br>Fishes,<br>narco. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[narco]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 26th 2006 2:39PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on TiVo launches division to collect, sell data on ad viewing]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/26/tivo-launches-division-to-collect-sell-data-on-ad-viewing/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/26/tivo-launches-division-to-collect-sell-data-on-ad-viewing/</guid><description><![CDATA[Why do you say "fishes", narco?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[spil]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 26th 2006 2:44PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on TiVo launches division to collect, sell data on ad viewing]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/26/tivo-launches-division-to-collect-sell-data-on-ad-viewing/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/26/tivo-launches-division-to-collect-sell-data-on-ad-viewing/</guid><description><![CDATA[But this still begs the question: WHat will the broadcasters and advertisers do with this new found data? Will they use it to change their habits? The old way of funding shows by selling times blocks for advertising is disappearing fast. We watch our shows all sorts of ways now (Slingbox, DVRs, iPods, Media Centers, downloads, etc.). Will the broadcasters and advertisers cry foul? Or will they change their business models to accomodate viewers new and changing viewing habits? Only time will tell.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Mack Swift]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 26th 2006 2:44PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on TiVo launches division to collect, sell data on ad viewing]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/26/tivo-launches-division-to-collect-sell-data-on-ad-viewing/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/26/tivo-launches-division-to-collect-sell-data-on-ad-viewing/</guid><description><![CDATA[Personally, I don't really care if Tivo aggregates my viewing habits. Actually, I'm all for it. Those stupid "diaries" used to gauge viewing are a joke. Let advertisers and networks get hard numbers of what people actually watch, and maybe it will help weed out some of the crap network programming.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Moegreen]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 26th 2006 3:09PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on TiVo launches division to collect, sell data on ad viewing]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/26/tivo-launches-division-to-collect-sell-data-on-ad-viewing/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/26/tivo-launches-division-to-collect-sell-data-on-ad-viewing/</guid><description><![CDATA[if they can stop those annoying Vonage commercials, it just MIGHT be worth it.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bobby]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 26th 2006 3:15PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on TiVo launches division to collect, sell data on ad viewing]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/26/tivo-launches-division-to-collect-sell-data-on-ad-viewing/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/26/tivo-launches-division-to-collect-sell-data-on-ad-viewing/</guid><description><![CDATA[I want to say: Finally! not that I'm thrilled but they were collecting this information for ages so what took them so long to create another revenue stream.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Frederik]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 26th 2006 3:16PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on TiVo launches division to collect, sell data on ad viewing]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/26/tivo-launches-division-to-collect-sell-data-on-ad-viewing/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/26/tivo-launches-division-to-collect-sell-data-on-ad-viewing/</guid><description><![CDATA[Just another reason to use fakecall.tcl, if you ask me.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[My Box Is Hacked]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 26th 2006 3:29PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on TiVo launches division to collect, sell data on ad viewing]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/26/tivo-launches-division-to-collect-sell-data-on-ad-viewing/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/26/tivo-launches-division-to-collect-sell-data-on-ad-viewing/</guid><description><![CDATA[I have TiVo and I love it.

I am!<br><br>I’m sorry, “the "problem" of commercial skipping”????  WTF!?!  There ISN’T a problem, so stop creating one!  I got TIVO so I DON’T HAVE TO WATCH COMMERICALS…damit!  And while we’re on that subject, TIVO can TAKE OFF that G_DDAM “Products for you!!” non-sense. It’s ONLY free if it’s useful, and all it does is waste space and piss-me-off.  I never asked for it and I can’t delete it.<br><br>And I certainly didn’t ask for my personal information to be sold to the highest bidder.  What makes Advertisers think that just because you have MY information, that I’m going to buy products from YOU?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[I,Robot]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 26th 2006 6:04PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
