Private beta of StackOverflow.com

August 22, 2008 19:09 by Jens

Yesterday I received my login credentials for the private beta of stackoverflow.com! This is awesome.

I suppose I will spend most of the weekend browsing stackoverflow, asking questions and voting answers. StackOverflow is a social community for software developers. It is being developed by none less than Joel Spolsky and Jeff Atwood.

The concept of StackOverflow is based on questions that can be published by each user. They can be answered by others. All questions and answers can be voted on. This way the users gain reputation points and special badges. This is a very addictive concept.

I already put out a question and I was stunned when I saw it already answered after I refreshed the page. This is ridiculous. No kidding!

This site has huge potential. According to Jeff it will go live at the end of August. Until then you could listen to the stackoverflow podcast at http://blog.stackoverflow.com/.
