Typically Satisfaction is geared more towards triage and customer support -- where there are products and the like involved. I'm an advisor to Satisfaction and advocated for their support of OpenID (which is not without its wrinkles) and love their service, but it's better designed for companies with customers. > I personally use GetSatisfaction, and am very happy with it, though I think > if I we're looking for new ideas (e.g., how to improve the OpenID website) I > might give Uservoice a try. > > What's the purpose of this widget?

I would not suggest using UserVoice (in our instance) for customer support issues. It would primarily serve as a tool for generating feedback and then having votes tallied for which ideas are most popular. In this way, I think it's a nice, lightweight approach to gathering membership sentiment.
