Comcast is Watching You. Good or Bad?
The New York Times reports of a Blogger who gets an email after complaining about a service that is not there. Other people have complained about their bills and Comcast comes back with a “Can I Help”? Even others find themselves with internet connection issues for trying to use the service.

They look at keywords that - in turn - give them information to turn around and say “What can we do?”
