StackOverflow public beta

So I’ve been helping (private beta) the guru’s over at StackOverflow with their latest endeavor – a free programming community wiki + experts exchange + digg like system.   It’s awesome, trust me.

Literally, you can go on the site and ask any technical question that can be answered, not just discussed, and your question will be answered within a minute.  Even if it is a tricky question, people will start jumping to try to provide some insight.

The system is based on reputation.  You ask a question, and if it’s a good question, people can mark it up (+points) or mark it down if it’s a bad question (-points).  If you answer questions, the same thing happens (+/- points).   They’ve also added a badge system to reward people for learning their way through the system.

But anyway, go check it out. You’ll like it if you’re a tech head like me.
