Using software incorporated into a web page to collect page-specific user feedback concerning a document embedded in the web page

Abstract

In one embodiment, a system for measuring subjective user reaction concerning a particular web page comprising an embedded document includes a first icon viewable on the particular web page independent of input from a user subsequent to the user accessing the particular web page. The particular web page includes a document embedded in the particular web page. The first icon solicits a subjective user reaction to the particular web page comprising the document embedded in the particular web page from the user independent of input from the user subsequent to the user accessing the particular web page. The first icon receives user input indicating a desire to provide a subjective user reaction to the particular web page including the document embedded in the particular web page. The user input causes a second icon to become viewable on the particular web page. The second icon provides the user an opportunity to provide a subjective user reaction to the particular web page including the document embedded in the particular web page. The system also includes software associated with the second icon that receives the subjective user reaction to the particular web page including the document embedded in the particular web page for reporting to an owner of the document embedded in the particular web page.
