   @davidgerard how did the software industry survive before telemetry? The way these companies make it sound, they'd be out on the street with their hats in their hands if they couldn't phone home.

     @seanmcbeth @davidgerard They relied heavily on such medieval techniques as maintaining customer support staff, user surveys, keeping an eye on outside support channels, etc.

     But, we are in the renny-seance period now, so companies are better than that. All hail Big Data. Don't forget to rub Big Table's belly for good luck.
