Feedback loop for bloggers...

Jason's recent posts made me found out about this new feedback thingy "Reaction" that Blogger is offering. Combined with Google Analytics this is probably the ultimate feedback loop tool for bloggers that I have seen so far. 
I just turned it on on my blog.  Of course, comments are interesting an very welcome but they may be intimidating to some readers.  Ticking a check box is not as engaging but does provide valuable feedback to the blogger.  

To turn the "reactions" feature on, simply go to your template and edit the layout of your post item.   When you read a post with this, send feedback to the author, I am sure they will appreciate.

That's a great feature! I can't count the number of times I've read an article, liked it, but not left any feedback. Commenting on everything I read would take a long time, but these 'reactions' can be done with a single click. Perfect! Now all I need to do is find a Wordpress version... Or write one.

Hopefully Wordpress will adjust to this. Last time I looked at it I was very impress by it. It's a great platform.

The one thing I am looking for in Blogger now is a custom survey tool like what we have in Confluence... This would be the ultimate feedback package one could get from readers.
