Link: DialIdol.com – Measuring the busy signal

DialIdol is a piece of software you can install on your computer that uses a modem to auto-dial call-in numbers for contest shows like American Idol. The interesting twist is that the software records whether it receives a busy signal each time it calls in to vote. The software then aggregates this information among all its users as a way to predict who will win. The makers of the software claim to have a 97% success rate in predicting the winner of American Idol each week.
