Cullect.com is a Minneapolis based start-up that provides an RSS reader with a bunch of interesting features including community collaboration, inline processing (ex. Blog or Twitter about what you’re reading from within the reader), and shared reading lists.

Cullect founder, Garrick Van Buren, ran the site’s homepage through 3rdPartyFeedback.com’s introductory tests then publicly posted the 3rd Party Feedback results on his site’s blog.

Here is what the site looked like at the time of the tests:

This is a good example of why aggregating feedback can be valuable. The results show that while most get what Cullect is about, it wasn’t clear to all visitors. Could this be improved? Probably.

Design opinions varied from positive feedback about the site’s minimalist presentation to complaints about the “lack of design.”

Based on the feedback Cullect.com received, I get that a good chunk of visitors to the homepage aren’t having an “Ah Ha!” moment where they think to themselves, “I get what this site does and how it can make my life better.” This may or may not be an issue for this type of site since it’s probably primarily winning new visitors through word of mouth.
