I would like to give my users a way to give me feedback on my website. Users are non-technical.

I saw a simple comment box on this page at Olark: http://www.olark.com/developer

enter image description here

It seems to be a DISQUS service, but I cannot figure out what service this is...

Would you have any recommendation for a comment box/form, with message going to an email address?

You can have a form that posts an HTTP request to a server-side script (e.g., PHP, Rails controller action, Django request, etc.), which then sends an e-mail with the comment to a specific address that you put in the code or configuration.

You don't need to use DISQUS-- it's not that hard to roll your own if you're a programmer. (Of course, if you're not, you might want to learn that first or find someone who knows it!)

Yes, I came to the same conclusion. Thanks for your input. – tucson Mar 21 '11 at 11:53
