I’m going to geek out for a bit here and tell you all about a site that some of you may never use. I spent the majority of my day today troubleshooting a problem I was experiencing trying to get some reports to work on a website I’m working on for a client.
In searching for the answer to my problem online, I uncovered the Stack Overflow website. It’s completely free to join and there are questions and answers to just about any question the geeks around us might have to ask.
You can use the easy tagging functionality to quickly jump to questions that have already been asked by the site’s users. You can even take advantage of the “recent” tag cloud in the sidebar to see what topics are getting talking about lately.
Users have the ability to earn badges for their participation in the site as well. Badges are earned for asking questions, answering questions and just being a good community member.
The Stack Overflow website will now be one of the first places I visit when I’m looking for a quick answer.
