&lt;p&gt;One&amp;nbsp; problem on Government Websites for visitors is lack of
any evidence that their actions have made any difference or that
anyone is listening.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Communicating, via a site, that their
recommendations have led to a change may sway more people to
get involved. Thus, their actions are rewarded and everyone benifits. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This can build trust, and could result in more feedback, and even more transactions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
