I use StackOverflow. I've posted questions and I've read lots of responses.
I have no idea what the badges, karma, etc. are. For me, it works quite well. In fact, the only mildly confusing thing for me was that I had to use some OpenID thing to login the first time.
Think about that. Their value prop to someone coming in through Google or posting a question is simple and the barrier to entry is very low.
- GFischer 16y agoI've also posted questions and read responses on SO, but I believe I still haven't figured out how to "use" StackOverflow. My first experiences with the site weren't too good: I tried to upvote a comment (I mean, there's a big fat arrow to the left of the comment!), and then I tried to answer the question and I believe it didn't let me either...

- GFischer 16y agoI didn't really look for it. If you want to I'll try finding it :) (it should be on my PC somewhere, I don't usually delete those things) Edit: I'll put my e-mail on my profile, sorry people for the offtopic.
