Zusammenfassung:A method and apparatus for suggestion solicitation, collection, and evaluation. The method and apparatus enables individuals and organizations to obtain and provide real-time, anonymous, and subject-specific feedback via a computer network, such as the Internet, to improve their decision-making capabilities. Bi-directional anonymous communication is established to allow for clarification on prior suggestion submissions and better targeted future submission. Indirect feedback is gathered among consenting users sharing anonymous responses to similar suggestion-solicitation stimuli. An anonymous incentive-awarding mechanism is provided to enhance the efficiency of the information flow. The method and apparatus further provides an intermediate processing layer between the suggestion or information sought and the suggestion or information delivered; such intermediate processing includes systematic evaluation, filtering, and knowledge extraction steps.
