Wow, this may be the most significant privacy question with telephony since the NSA started listening in:
Company Will Monitor Phone Calls to Tailor Ads
What do you think of this? Would you use a service that listened in on your calls? Did you know that gmail does that with your e-mails? How would you feel if the government were doing it instead? (I, for one, am immediately suspicious of their claim that they won't save data about the calls. My response would be, "That's what you say ... for now.")

I guess if people are told exactly what they are getting into, that's their choice.
Still... creepy.
I think this is a slippery slope and we're heading downhill fast. The idea of the ads coming from the conversations is one thing, but the conversations sparked by the ads is different. Or is it? The last sentence of the article was very "mad scientist." I nearly expected a sinister "muahahahahah" after it. I don't like this idea one bit.
This is really creepy- Way to invasive I think. But like "atm" said- since they know what they are getting into I guess it's up to them. Personally, I wouldn't sign up for something like this.
i am so against this its not even funny! isn't that what market research if for?!?!
