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.
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.
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.
