There was never a deliberate effort from TC to ignore StackOverflow, I linked to it in some of my posts there.
IIRC we simply were not in the loop on their news, announcements or tips.
A lot of the TC'ers use Quora which is why it is mentioned a lot, but in TC dev we were definitely big fans of StackOverflow, its just that the full-time writers didn't use it or notice it as much.
If you look at Techmeme, you can see that StackOverflow hasn't been getting much attention from the usual tech blogs:

I figure it is for the same reason - they weren't actively reaching out to the tech bloggers and instead using their own blogs for PR. Still worked out well for them :)
- ig1 16y agoQuora has become hugely significant in the startup community, it's probably now the largest online community of startup people.
- JasonPunyon 16y agoHow can you tell how many users there are?
- ig1 16y agoI'm not saying that with any scientific basis, but rather on the basis that a much larger percentage of the startup community seems to be active there than on other sites. Often when you see someone ask about a random startup you'll get the startup's founder or an investor answering, something which you rarely see elsewhere.
