to tell the truth there really isn't that much competition among SEs. Everyone is doing their own thing. Actually it's kinda getting dead, since a lot of people are giving up. Since it's hard building an audience As far as actual competitor sites, most of them are generic, and we have much higher quality controls for posts. On Yahoo Answers, "What does the color red look like?" is a valid question, and on ours that gets deleted. For design cues, I have a whole list of sites that I'll be using for inspiration. No the SE platform doesn't let you A/B test anything. It's really very basic at this point. Pretty much all you can do is edit a CSS file, and add stuff to a box just above header, footer, 3 spots for ads. So pretty much if you want to do anything, you need to add a ton of javascript and css.
