I don't know, it makes sense but it kinda reminds me of that sex change company.
experts exchange? expertSEXchange dot com edit: wow. Just showing the people who didn't get the reference.

I would be laughing, but I just a couple days ago I was googling for information on an actual Stack Overflow error.

I'm still seeing no evidence of success or traction beyond the original Stackoverflow. I'm kinda curious what their burn rate is. I think there are 20 odd employees now, not all of them engineers. That'll consume $2-3 million a year. One hopes they're simply stockpiling cash while valuations are good. I'm kinda curious what valuation they got. I haven't seen anything about that anywhere.

Next to Facebook at $50bn that seems almost reasonable...
Joking aside it does seem on the high side but in it's favour it is a top 100 site by traffic, it has something resembling a basic revenue model in place, they have a plan for growth which they seem to be executing on reasonably and they are in a space which is under going growth and which clearly has some potential.
Yes right now Stack Overflow eclipses the other sites but having one massively successful site to fall back on and that they've learned things from is actually a pretty major asset.

The burn rate is very low.
The valuation is private.
I was thinking about this naming issue the other day, and I'm glad they made a move. I convinced myself they'd rename to simply Stack for shortness' sake. I still think they should; stack.com doesn't look too expensive.

I'll be waiting for some variation on ;DROP TABLE
