#2Many peoples' personal weakpoint: Listening too much to what other people think about them.
This website has all the attributes to become a viral Facebook/Twitter hit, and it's clearly been designed to achieve this.
But why not give it a miss, and focus on what you're doing in your life instead of on what other people think of you. Especially when they don't even have the courage to say it to your face.

If the general internet public liked amihotornot.com, they will probably like this site.
On the other hand, I think its only flaws are the absence of pictures and easy buttons and the login requirement. Fewer people want to take the time to actually type something out, and it is as likely they have already posted their opinion of someone in twitter if they are going to type it at all. With the login requirement, it is a lot less accessible for the critic and the critiqued.

#5I remember how reading that Facebook was engineered to give you the most positive experience. This feels like the total opposite sort of thing.
I don't think it will be a huge success, though, because as much people say that they want constructive criticism, what they really want to hear is how great they are. Going to this site would just be disappointing and frustrating for most people.

Agreed. It's strange to try to put a positive spin on everyone's shortcomings.

Well, sometimes there is something that only other people can see. I think there are some opinions about my traits that I happily ignore, I know what's best for me, but certain things about me bother me, not just others. Particularly, being somewhat anxiety prone, things like, "am I worrying about this too much or not enough?".
I'm actually quite glad this is up, I'd considered that something like it would be useful.
EDIT: Oh wait I got it all wrong. This is asking your friends for anonymous feedback? Yikes, no, I don't want to hear what they have to say. I thought this was an anonymous Q/A thing. Like Vark for personality flaws.

Do you remember where you read that? I've heard about the positive experience of facebook from somebody else and I'd really to read the source. A URL or title/keywords would be helpful.

#9I love the idea. It's very good for people who can take criticism. It's up to you after all which criticism to ignore and which to take seriously. It should be made easier for other to post opinions about you by integrating this into some famous application (e.g. facebook app, blog widget, etc).
