Sad news coming out of MacMinute. The site will no longer remain operational, but hopes to redirect the site elsewhere remain in discussion.

Thanks MacMinute for all your insight and Mac stories throughout the years. Your content will be missed.

Today’s post is about frank feedback. No, frank feedback is not a person, at least that I know of. If so, Frank can you please leave a comment? By frank feedback, I mean true, open, honest feedback that you provide in a blog post, a comment, on a survey or in an email.

We’ve all bought into the theory that people are more open and honest when it comes to sharing their opinions online. It’s been said that people open up and say things online they normally wouldn’t say in a focus group or face to face with another person.

So with this being the ‘accepted truth’, my question to you is:

Do you provide frank feedback when leaving a comment or sharing your opinion online, or do you tame comments to match the tone of those around you?

Back in 1996 a site launched offering tutorials, news and offered a platform for early developers to share their thoughts, work and best practices. That site was Webmonkey.

Yesterday, Webmonkey relaunched with a new and improved design and platform. The site is now based on a wiki platform and offers more great resources in terms of tutorials, code library and reference materials.

The new Webmonkey offers you, the developer or community member to create an article and post your knowledge to the community.

For more on what’s happening in the Webmonkey world, be sure to check out their blog for the latest news and happenings around the web.

While catching up on some RSS feeds, I came across the following quote:

We realized we didn’t have to come up with brilliant ideas - we needed brilliant ways of executing good ideas.
—Mackey McDonald, Chairman of VF Corp.

It struck me as unique, so I thought I’d pass it along.
