1. A computer-implemented method of receiving feedback from a user, the method comprising:
displaying an item on a touch display screen, the touch display screen being operable to detect a user contact with the touch display screen;

detecting the user contact with the touch display screen when the touch display screen is displaying of the item;
determining the first directional value and the second directional value of the user contact;
determining a response to the user contact based on the first directional value, the second directional value and the item;
wherein the response i) comprises a reaction value to the item corresponding to the first directional value, ii) a magnitude value of the reaction value to the item corresponding to the second directional value, and iii) varies with each and every variation in the first directional value and with each and every variation in the second directional value; and
displaying the item on a second touch display screen, to a second user, with a user designator for indicating the user's feedback regarding the item, the user designator comprising the reaction value, and the magnitude value.
