The idea seems to make it faster to push, but does it reduce work, or does it increase it?
I'm thinking end-to-end time, as that's what to measure.
By pushing, perhaps 'speed convenient' for the pusher, what incentive is there to put a meaningful message? Is the incentive greater or less than had it been in an email or other tracking tool already in use? Is tagging a page clearer than a screenshot and URL with a giant red box around what a problem is?
For tracking, is someone going to have to document a change? If a 'push' went into a tracking tool from the start, this cost would be front-loaded. If from this method of pushing, is this cost offloaded from the pusher rather than removed? If a cost of pushing is reduced, will the number of unnecessary pushes increase? Is 'necessary' to again negotiated through email or other threaded back-and-forth, and will this increase that?
Is there a social annotation aspect, like hypthes.is-like comments in the tagging? If so, is there a benefit vs. a cost? I could see this working very well on a 'dev' site for example that's under active change, with 'social' in the comments (and wildly imagining a 'rewind' conversation function like Google Wave back in the day).
Does it reduce end-to-end workload, or discover value somehow? That'd be my key barometer.
