Server Fault Public Beta Launches

ServerFault logo Server Fault Public Beta Launches - Blog - Stack Overflow

All you IT Professionals out there need to check out Server Fault – if it is as successful as its sister site Stack Overflow, then it is going to sweep away sites like Yahoo Answers and Experts Exchange to become the de facto standard site for IT system administrator questions and answers. And it’s free.

Now that the site is in public beta, you can sign up and start contributing and building up your reputation. I’ve personally found it helpful in resolving some very technical issues and the response is amazingly quick. I want to encourage as many of the SBS, SBSC and MVP communities as possible to take part in this. Stack overflow has been really successful in the developer world and now Server Fault is set to do the same for IT pros. If you believe in the power of Community, you’ll want to be associated with this. There have even been cases of people being offered jobs based on their Stack Overflow reputation.
