Boards Archive] |
Welcome to the Vault Network
forum archive.
This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the
opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards
deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least
20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per
page).
Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50
topics per page, while others deemed of historical
signifigance may be archived in their entirety.
We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but
we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in
lieu of that.
Please enjoy the archive.

Google's patent...
"Ringback Advertising
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer program products, in which an indication of a telephone call being placed from a calling number is received, and a determination is made of an audio advertisement to play based on the calling number. The audio advertisement is played based on the determination."
http://www.engadget.com/2012/03/13/google-ringtone-advertising-patent
So when you make a phone call, based on the number you are calling, you'll get a certain advertisement.
Imagine you are using Google Voice, you have your contacts in Google, and those contacts probably also use Google services. So Google knows a lot of information about your contacts, they probably know their interests better than you. So maybe you call your friend he is a gamer and you'll get some sort of gaming related advertisement maybe.
But the main concern is those of us that have ported our mobile numbers into Google voice and have been enjoying this free service, well the free ride might be ending eventually as we might soon have to deal with advertising.
It's just a patent right now, so Google may never even use it, who knows.

You don't really think that, do you? Really?

I'm just saying, in a infinite universe with infinite parallel realities, this could be one that Google doesn't stick advertisements into Google Voice.

haha, is that the same universe that all the phone patent claims get dropped and the various companies just learn to compete?
I could see them dropping a ringtone for ads.
