"Jeff Atwood and I ... [are] starting to build a programming Q&A site that's free. Free to ask questions, free to answer questions, free to read, free to index, built with plain old HTML, no fake rot13 text on the home page, no scammy google-cloaking tactics, no salespeople, no JavaScript windows dropping down in front of the answer asking for $12.95 to go away. You can register if you want to collect karma and win valuable flair that will appear next to your name, but otherwise, it's just free. - J. McConnell

Cool. Cuz I can't stand getting expertexchange results in my google queries. - Josh Haley

I look at it as Yahoo! Answers for programming questions. - Alan Le

oh they also have an interesting podcast by the same name that's worth listening to if you're a developer or interested in the software industry. - Alan Le

Guess it's ready enough for prime time they're starting to bring in the spokespeople? :) - Paul Whitaker

Paul: no spokespeople are involved yet. That is what is cool about this effort. - Robert Scoble

Cool! Just signed up for the beta. A coworker and I were just talking about how crappy the google results have become for programming q&a lately. - Jeremy Brooks

Robert: I meant you! :) Sounds neat, though. Looking forward to it. - Paul Whitaker

Paul: I'm not a spokesperson. I haven't even talked to the company about this yet. What you are reading here and on my blog at http://scobleizer.com/2008... is completely from hearing about this via word-of-mouth. - Robert Scoble

Wow, this is really cool! i already think stackoverflow-style application in any collaborative environment such as business projects or any other information and data exchange implying environment would be ideal. - Hayk H.
