Corey Gouker, a kindred spirit with a passion for technology offered a few nights ago to send along some feedback on Windows Media Player. I asked him to send me an email that I could digest offline. The result was a good, solid list of suggestions with reasoning behind his points. He may self-describe some comments as rants, but I prefer to look at them as personal perspective and feedback. I'm so impressed that he took the time to do this. I sometimes try to get this kind of feedback through the newsgroups, but it seems that blogging is delivering a different kind of communication and feedback that isn't often seen in my personal opinion in newsgroups. Naturally different mediums, different dialogues and different users.
So I've printed out Corey & Co's suggestions and am giving them a hard look over. I've passed the feedback on to the development team. Perhaps I'll cover in another post the process the team uses to gather and submit feedback.
If others have feedback, you can always post it here or send me email. While I can't respond to all comments, I'll be sure to read them and submit the constructive ones :)
Off to PMA Convention in Las Vegas tomorrow. I'll have a copy of Corey's feedback to digest on the flight.
