'...usually my answer is on the first page' The founders intend that eventually the answer you're looking for will show up as a stackoverflow.com question in the first page of Google results. They get more advertising revenue, the purported benefits to their users are: * You don't have to pay or even register to use the site (unlike Experts Exchange). * If an answer goes out of date (e.g. it only applies to the beta version) it can be updated. * You can always add your own comments (not all blogs allow comments). * If you manage to solve some tricky problem yourself, you can easily publish the information to help others (not everyone has their own blog).
