Now, we all know the importance of feedback. Giving feedback is what allows businesses to even better serve their customers. And we’re all familiar with feedback forms on all sorts of sites, the quintessential example being the feedback form for eBay feedback. There are all types of feedback – positive feedback, negative feedback, and even constructive feedback which may be neither. But demanded feedback? Giving and receiving feedback should be a voluntary act. Demanding that I leave feedback for a transaction with you may lead to destructive feedback, or maybe I should learn how to give scholarly constructive feedback that feels positive when it isn’t! I mean, why provide feedback at all if it’s going to be so strained? Why do you feel entitled to – indeed – how dare you demand feedback from me? [And check out how eBay is forcing sellers to leave buyers only positive eBay feedback – no more eBay negative feedback for buyers with the new eBay seller feedback rule!]

Dubbed the Amazon Mechanical Turk, Amazon’s new question and answer service is a question and answer machine (well, mechanism, at least) that allows you to get answers to questions – any questions! Much like the service for questions and answers Yahoo once offered, or google answers, Amazon’s answer service is for general knowledge questions and answers – the kind that a computer can’t just answer. That’s because there are humans behind it – humans who will answer questions to just about anything. And if you’d like to apply to get paid to answer questions, then you can get paid to answer questions too! Note that while the Yahoo answer service is still available, Google answers has gone away.
