UserVoice – Feedback Evolved

Posted by John Saddington on Dec 8, 2008

Feedback is super important for any ministry and organization.  Period.  And although farming the data can be a little more complicated for your “real” world ministries and initiatives, the web is stupid-easy.

For example…

UserVoice has recently gotten a lot of attention from some major news sources and I decided to give it a go and check it out.  5 minutes later and I’m “digging” it bad…  I’m very impressed.

Your users and readers can submit ideas for the site and give general/specific feedback if they’d like.  Super simple to use and implement, I had the account setup, 2 widgets installed (with color coordination) in less than a few minutes.

As you can see on the far right, I’ve got it plugged in.  Give it a go and drop me a “test” suggestion.  In fact, if you’ve got a real suggestion too, I’d love that as well.

If you want a pretty comprehensive read on what UserVoice is about and why some really like it, go here for a full brain dump… although you probably don’t need it.

This one is obvious folks.

Let me know if you decide to use this for your personal blog and/or ministry website.  I’d love to hear what your thoughts are, especially if you’re using other services like GetSatisfaction.com

  1. Hey John – Thank you for the generous article about UserVoice.

    As a former church worker, I can positively say that the church could benefit from listening any way they can. Thanks for taking note of our project and I hope it helps ChurchCrunch grow!

  2. thanks marcus for dropping us a line! it's great stuff, and i hope to encourage ministries and organization to use it if they find it valuable.

  3. So you can post questions? or do users get to post questions? I would like to know more about this so that I can see if it would fit well with my blog. Every time I saw a feedback tab I thought it was something the designers did and not something that was available to everyone.
