kudos:5 | Sounds like same type technology used by NSA The technology listens in for keywords in the conversation and then sends out ads. But the same tech has been used for decades by the NSA(and obviously Israeli intelligence) to listen in to international phone calls and then kick out calls for special attention based on words and phrases used in the conversation.

Re: Sounds like same type technology used by NSA Oh great another tool to help the art of relating to each other spiral further down the toilet. It is bad enough we are distracted constantly on a cellphone - multi tasking our way through life.
I can see some funny scenarios -- your best friend calls and tells you someone has just died - up comes ads for ... coffins, funeral homes...and estate planning?
I dunno -- while I can appreciate the technology - I think the use is one more step into the surreal world of "pimp my communication". |

| Backdoor into public lives "The company insists they don't keep records of what keywords were triggered during conversation."
Puddmedia may say THEY do not keep records but they did not say it is impossible. Whoever they license to may keep records for spam mail purposes. This may allow govt agencies a backdoor into spying on citizens w/o subpoena. Whoever uses this and gets busted for something based on there conversation is not the issue. It is when someone starts talking about someone else. Imagine a huge insurance company buys a huge part of Vonage to bypass any 3rd part EULA crap. Now they have access to what is goin behind closed doors. Who is sick, family history, etc. This is very bad. |

Re: Give these guys some credit Speaking of credit...
What if I'm talking about personal or private information. Do I really want some software application listening in to what is said in hopes of selling me something pertaining to it?
Not only NO, but HELL NO!
I'll pass thank you. |

Re: Really Scary OMG, can you imagine the fun with social experimentation that could be had with this?

| Their listening anyway I figure the government is already listening in on every conversation going on right now. So what is the difference between using your paid phone, which the government is listening to anyway, and using a free phone, which the company tells you to your face your phone is being listened too? |

kudos:1 | Eavesdropping? A lot of states (not all) require that the other party be notified is a call is being monitored or recorded... so how does that work if the party you are calling isn't using this service? Are they breaching any laws?
On a side note: Is anyone comfortable with the fact that google and other companies are scanning your emails for contextual advertisements?
