joel Last week’s poll was a survey of sorts, calculating the penetration of various Web 2.0 applications into our readers’ lives. Over three-fourths of respondents said that they used Facebook, while two-thirds had a YouTube account. Over half had a MySpace and/or eBay accounts. Twitter is used by 44% of respondents, but I’m sure that will be on the increase.
It is crunch time for the digital transition, and it looks like the government may blink. The New York Times reports that the incoming Obama administration is asking Congress to push back the switchover into June, as over two million analog TV owners are on a waiting list to receive converter coupons. Meanwhile, any delay could cause hardships for the TV stations who already have their engineering crews booked to go. What do you think, should we delay or get on with it?
Should Congress delay the digital television transition beyond February 17th?
- No, any delay will cause even more confusion about the transition (79%, 26 Votes)
- It doesn’t affect me, so I don’t care (15%, 5 Votes)
- Yes, too many viewers will not be ready (6%, 2 Votes)
Total Voters: 33
