First of all, I can't give you any feedback, because I'm fairly new here -- sorry about that. That said, I really like this idea of having a persistent personal feedback form. Somehow it had never occurred to me.

I'm curious, though -- what exactly do you do with the feedback ? How do you analyze it (beyound just filtering out the spam, that is), and how do you apply the results of the analysis ? Do you have some sort of a systematic -- or better yet, automated -- way of doing so ?

I doubt he gets very much feedback; no point in running any formal analysis on tiny datasets.

I have 16 pieces of feedback so far, but (by design) they are qualitative. This is a static feedback form linked from the front page of my personal website, so I expect feedback to keep coming in, but I don't plan to do a systematic analysis - at least not for many months.

This may be off-topic, but after skimming your website, I noticed that you wrote the Singularity FAQ. At one point, I thought of submitting an article critiquing the FAQ, but decided against it, since this might be considered trolling. But perhaps I should submit my critique via the feedback form ?

Sure.

Ah, ok, that makes sense. Still, once you get around to performing such an analysis, I'd be very interested to see it. Making quantitative sense of qualitative data is what AI is all about, after all ! (ok, ok, not really, but it's still a fun thing to do).
