[mythtv-users] Possible Addon Idea -- Program Suggestions

Hi

I'm thinking of developing an addon that will work with mythtv to provide users
with free programming suggestions based on their viewing habits.  My program
would monitor mythtv frontend logs in conjunction with the mysql database to get
viewing habits.  These would periodically be sent to my server.  My server would
then use this data to generate personalized suggestions.  Users could then
either log onto a website to view suggestions, have them emailed to them, or
perhaps have suggestions automatically scheduled via the mythweb interface.

I would *NEVER* release any collected data to any third party, and the service
would remain free.

I'm just wondering if the mythtv community has any thoughts about such a
project, or if such a service would be useful.

Thanks
