The email would be helpful if the person you are giving the feedback to wanted to ask you a follow up question. Also, it'd provide a way for you to track all the times you've given anonymous feedback or asked for feedback in one place.

Point taken and that is the outcome we want to minimize.

1. We are providing a framework in which some of the feedback will be able to become meaningful through sharing it with trusted others to see if it is valid.

2. The person giving the feedback has to be careful to not identify themselves.

I think meaningful feedback can be given that a person can then think about and/or ask others about without the person giving the feedback being identified.

how would this work; it'd simply be open?

Private email could work, but there are not built in tools to help the person process the feedback once they have received it. People receiving feedback have the option of 1. ignoring/deleting; 2. asking for more feedback from the giver; 3. asking their friends via email if it is accurate; or 4. asking people via facebook/twitter if it is accurate.

Also, most people do not talk frankly with others. They just let the person continue to make mistakes or let them off the hook. That is part of the problem we are trying to solve.

1. yeah, i struggled with this one. did a poll. some agreed with you and others thought it was okay. any other thoughts on name?

2. very true

The idea is for people to be able to receive feedback and then assess the validity of that feedback by sharing it with others they trust. People receiving feedback have the option of 1. ignoring/deleting; 2. asking for more feedback from the giver; 3. asking their friends via email if it is accurate; or 4. asking people via facebook/twitter if it is accurate. So, this framework for processing the feedback gives it some added advantages over yahoo answers.

Thanks citricsquid; realizing now that we need to take the ads down. thanks also for feedback on email. we can add some clarification points to help the receiver understand.

thanks! yeah, i'll take the ads off.

CHsurfer, perfect comment!

thanks, yeah, part of the problem we are trying to solve is the idea that people do not say things f2f when they should. e.g., my boss can be a real jerk to people, but no one dares to tell him. that kind of scenario.

yeah, good point. i'm asking for feedback for what might be considered the normal population. i actually wonder what population would be the most interested...

Thanks. Can you tell me more? Wouldn't use the part to give anonymous feedback? or wouldn't use the part to ask for feedback? or both?
