I'm surprised some of those sites felt that it was worth paying $129 a month for it. It's cool software, but those strike me as some small niches.

Right now it's free during the beta. (I setup a stackexchange for startup questions: www.ExplainBusiness.com).

It took about 2 hours and you don't need to provide a credit card yet. It will be interesting to see what % of these trials convert to paying customers though.

icey2• 17 years ago

Oh cool, I didn't realize that. Maybe I'll check it out as well. Thanks!

vaksel• 17 years ago

yeah I'll just wait for a $29.99 script that does the same thing

joseakle• 17 years ago

Yeah, i took a look at 3 of them and questions seem to have very few views and answers, but i guess it will evolve somehow.

Yahoo Answers and Vark.com don't always get the answer i need, for dev related questions stackoverflow does it a lot better, integration with niche websites might be a good idea, such as automotive portals.

Also don't underestimate localization, facebook really took off in mexico and spain once there was a spanish version.

Aside from PR, what does Stack Exchange offer over Slinkset[1] (now Posterous) ?

1- http://slinkset.com/

Not to be snarky but-

you have obviously never used stackoverflow, nor have read any article covering stackoverflow internals.

bayareaguy3• 17 years ago

Not to be any more snarky, it seems to me that you're confusing the stackoverflow site with the Stack Exchange platform. Put simply, the latter "powers" the former much the way news.arc "powers" Hacker News or Wordpress "powers" countless specific blogs.

Perhaps I should rephrase my question: what makes Stack Exchange worth the price they charge when Slinkset is free?

Paid advertisements (PR BS) on HN? =) Did I miss something?

code_duck• 17 years ago

What a plague! So now there are a bunch of sites with horribly oversized text and numbers?

cruise02• 17 years ago

Oh no! And all of these sites will be generating useful content, fooling their users into thinking that's more important than text size and kerning! What will we do?

bbhacker• 17 years ago

There is also a new site for BlackBerry smartphones, let's see if this will indeed be a serious competitor to the many other BlackBerry forums out there.

You can check it out a http://know.bbhacker.com

It took me less than 1 hour to set it up and get it going. This could be really helpful for everyone who wants to create a custom support site.
