I like the idea. I think there should be a skip button as there are a couple sites that I wasn't able to review properly (one specifically asked for people to review it in another language and the other required me to sign in). I also think it'd be cool if the homepage showcased some of the highest rated sites, like the way Logopond ( http://logopond.com/ ) works for logos.

Agree with this. I cancelled a review because I simply can't give very good feedback on the type of site I was given. I waited a while, clicked 'Review Next' again and got the same site.

If the creator of FeedbackRoulette is reading, skip button pronto!

I've posted a couple of decent quality reviews and most have been accepted with 5 star ratings. However, very few reviews are coming back the other way, leaving me feeling like I've somewhat wasted my time.

Perhaps this will change later, but in the meantime, perhaps sites could be circulated around instead of just being assigned to one person (which is what I presume is happening.)

How about a twist on the original idea: Reviewers submit a short review with the basic findings and points of improvement, and hint at a more in-depth review. For a nominal fee, you could access a more in-depth review and consulting (maybe with coding help, etc..). The site could be a nexus between people needing reviewing help, and consultants, for a small fee. Top reviewers could make a living out of this, other pe…

I really like that. I do general consulting from time to time and would love a great tool for lead generation for small web based businesses.

Could really work well for connecting consultants with new clients they would otherwise never find.

It would also be nice to be able to talk back with reviewers if they allow for it. I've gotten some interesting comments and I'd like to either ask a few clarifying questions or just get to know them a bit better. A 2-way communication message would be nice.

Definitely!
