Most human conversation centers around GOOD or BAD

I once read that the majority of human conversation centers around “Good” or “Bad.” As in, most people in conversations are either saying something is GOOD, or are saying something is BAD. Examples of good are, “I like…” or “I think that is interesting..” or even “Thanks, thats very helpful.” Examples of bad are, “That doesn’t sound right…” or “I don’t think thats helpful” or even “That was mean.”

So, with that said, I was inspired to introduce a new feature in Braintrust that I’m really excited about. It is called Braintrust Feedback. Now, the goal of Braintrust has always been to help small tight knit groups of people share ideas, get feedback and communicate better so that they can make great things happen. Although till today, you could always write a comment to give feedback to what someone has said, it didn’t seem like enough.

So now, with just 2 clicks, you can give a wealth of feedback to each share. Here’s how it looks:
Give Feedback

As you can see, the design starts off with the basic fundamentals of Facebook’s “like” and Twitter’s “RT” but is taken a step further. It tries to replicate the same natural conversation pattern, where you can easily give either a “Good” feedback or a “Bad” feedback.

I’m really excited about this feature, I hope you are too. Try it on your Braintrust today.

    I just finished a book on the evolutionary basis of morality, short version, one of the main reasons for morality is to build stronger groups and teams. You should check out The Happiness Hypothesis by Jonathan Haidt.
