		<description>&lt;a href=&#039;#comment-876&#039;&gt;@Jason&lt;/a&gt; - Actually I do like the surveys. I&#039;ve also added a &#039;Feedback&#039; capability (blue tab on right frame edge) that is helpful, but the 4Q user satisfaction surveys help me understand what visitors are trying to do.
I used the 4Q surveys at work for a while and it did help uncover some (now) obvious opportunities.</description>

		<description>Brad, how do you like the surveys? Has it added to your ability to provide a good web experience?

		<description>Hi Jason, that&#039;s a good question!
I think it depends on how obtrusive the request for information is. I&#039;m not a fan of telephone surveys, as they always interrupt what I&#039;m doing, and take time to complete.
Web surveys that first ask if you can be surveyed, then are short, and finally happen after you&#039;ve completed your task on the site are always welcome to me.
They consider my activity to be more important than theirs (gathering results). Courtesy goes a long way.</description>

		<description>Interesting idea?  I wonder if visitors will appreciate the ability to leave feedback on the blog?  I&#039;m sure they will, as long as it doesn&#039;t come across as an advert.</description>
