It is interesting to observe the method in which Time Warner Cable chose to engage its customers to address its dispute with Fox. They asked customers to vote on what should the response be “Roll Over” or “Get Tough” through a dedicated website.

To date, Time Warner Cable reports 800,000 unique visitors with overwhelming support to “get tough”. Cool way to engage custoemrs and harness the power of the crowd.
It is not clear if Time Warner Cable was planning to actually listen to their customers. What if the majority would have said “Roll Over”. Would they follow the customers’ advice? This bit of authenticity is missing for me. imagine if the site would clearly state “we will do whatever you say” Now that would have been a real customer engagement.
