[IxDA Discuss] Customer Feedback Channels

[Josh Viney]

I would start with good site analytics for quantitative analysis of user
behavior. To gather qualitative insight I would consider an onsite email
application similar to those used on social networking sites where users can
send messages  to designers and get replies to start active dialogs between
the users and the internal team. I suggest onsite email vs. a mailto because
the mailto would require someone to access an external email solution as
opposed to keeping a unified experience through a single application. A
forum will also work for helping create a dialog between users but it would
require some supervision and may not be as targeted.
