Comcast Is Reading Your Blog 235

Paolo writes "A Washington student got a bit of a shock when he received an email from internet service provider Comcast about comments he had made on his blog. Brandon Dilbeck, a student at the University of Washington, writes a blog and used it to complain about the service he was getting from Comcast. Shortly afterwards he got an email message from Comcast apologizing for the problems and suggesting he might look at a guide it had posted on its web site. Lyza Gardner, a vice president at a Web development company in Portland used Twitter to complain about the company and was surprised to be contacted directly. Comcast is now monitoring blogs as a way of improving its image among customers. The company was ranked at the bottom of the most recent American Customer Satisfaction Index."

Journal Journal: why don't I have friends

I don't have any friends. I have to spend all day putting software on my computer (like FreeBSD, Wine, Postfix, MySQL, OpenOffice, etc) just so I don't get lonely. I need to 'apt-get more_friends' or 'portupgrade social_life'... maybe one day people will read my online journal and fall in love with me. I will check back everyday for comments.
