*You may be thinking, what about good old fashioned human interaction? Well, not everyone likes to admit it when they are confused or bored. You may be someone who prefers to sit quietly in the back. This tool is for you.

Some ideas post-11/29 call:
 
1. on the wiki re: feedbacker, add in #spark
2. change the bit.ly url to bit.ly/feedbacker (turns out to be unavailable, as is the domain feedbacker.com--so we might need to brainstorm about a new name or variations --Sam)
3. update the CAB pdf of specs to show the new name, Feedbacker (done!)
4. Is there a way to add a comment/question popup window--so students have another option as well as Up/Down/Neutral. Perhaps clicking on Question (Ask?) would make a popup window where the student could input a question. And other students could click on whatever the icon is and look at that question. Prof could also click on Respond to answer. So there could be multiple icons: Question/Comment/Respond. (we can definitely continue the discussion on the Google group listed at the top of the page! --Sam)
