SemanticOverflow.com is a new site based on StackOverflow.com, devoted to Q&A on anything related to the semantic web. The site is very new (created last week) and I’m trying to get as many people to visit as I can, so please come and post your questions and together we’ll create a thriving community dedicated just to the semantic web. It’s free to join, free to ask questions, and most important of all – free to see the answers. You don’t even have to sign up to view, ask or answer questions. If you do join, all you get is kudos.

StackOverflow has been an overnight sensation because it combines many of the traditional features of wikis, newgroups and social media platforms combined with a reputation system that promotes community involvement and high quality discussion. I’m sure that as the Semantic Web starts to go exponential, Semantic Overflow will be a useful forum for more than just technical questions. I hope you’ll use it for speculation about the directions of the field itself. Unlike StackOverflow, non-technical discussions won’t be moderated out, provided they are on-topic. I think that in such an interesting and emerging space, discussion and dissemination of knowledge is critical. If you agree, please come and join us for a question or two.

Please also tell your friends, colleagues, relatives, acquaintances, pets and neighbors and ask them all to visit the site (and click on the ads!).
