			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In his post <em><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/fastforwardblog/SYEL/~3/400203035/">Looking at Trends in the Online Customer Experience</a></em>, Bill Ives gives a good overview of a recent survey into customer experiences online. Here&#8217;s a sample: (my emphasis)</p>
<blockquote>
<p>for the fourth consecutive year, nearly <strong>9 out of 10</strong> (87%) online adults who have conducted an online transaction in the past year <strong>have experienced problems</strong>. Those who experience problems conducting online transactions also reported feeling disappointed (55%), angry (41%), and confused (23%)&#8230;41% of online adults who experience transaction problems would <strong>switch to a competitor or abandon a transaction entirely</strong>. This represents a potential 57 billion dollars (US) impact for shopping sites alone&#8230;four in five online adults who experience problems (84%) <strong>share their experiences with others — both online and offline</strong>.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>This last point is at the heart of something I have been advocating more and more recently; measuring the user experience via the &#8216;back channel&#8217; using social media tools such as Twitter, Technorati and even Google Alerts, to hear what people are saying about your products and services (but not to your face).</p>
