Answer 1

After ver. 0.9.9 (added Dec. 13, 2012) it is recommended to use listenTO.

In line with this:

var MyView = Backbone.View.extend({

    initialize: function() {
        this.listenTo(this.collection, 'add', this.onModelAdd);
    },
    onModelAdd: function(model) {
        // do something
    }
});

var myCollection = new MyCollection();
var myView = new MyView({collection: myCollection});
