If you run your own business I know you do your best to please your customers, satisfy their needs, and eventually to keep them loyal to your brand.

"Please call back later, I'm having dinner with my family." You'd hang up the phone and go back to the dinner table. "Now where were we?"

We live in a churning sea of feedback. Comment boxes appear on web pages like graffiti on a boxcar. Swirling around us are emoticons with thumbs-up signs, clapping hands, OK signs, happy faces, sad faces -- the list goes on.
