Now, I can't use it because I have cable and I hear that it's not extremely accurate... Even that the votes might not get in...

but if they do, maybe if everyone could be text messaging, calling by the landline AND using dialidol? That would be helpful, I think. My roommate and I took turns dialing for 2 hours with the speakerphone and got 160 votes in. Not the best, but it's aloit more than the past.

Would someone who is more knowledgeable about Dial Idol explain this a bit? Are their predictions only based on the busy signals received by callers using "their" dialing software, not the general public? Also, I've heard that just b/c you want it to cast votes only for a particular contestant doesn't necessarily mean it will. True? I've really only heard negatives about it, except for being useful in finding out who is on bottom. I don't use it. I'd just like to understand it a little better.

Dialidol rankings are based upon the percentage of busy signals received by people using their software to dial. The rankings are then adjusted to compensate for different population and phone system capacities in different geographical areas. Of course all this is done non-scientifically  using empirical data (ie: educated guesses). As far as their dialer is concerned, there is no evidence that it is unreliable, however, I tend to not trust it because the software determines which number to dial, not you. And as a software developer I am only too aware of the effects of a software "glitch". There are other autodialers around that you control. I posted a link to one in the dialing techniques thread.
