#2I've been beta testing this over the past few weeks, and can attest that it kicks ass. I think of it as a sort of realtime Stack Overflow--a place I can go to get answers interactively/immediately.

#3It would be cool to establish a marketplace for help on top of this. i.e. I can pay $1/min for someone's time on demand to get help.
If that existed, I would have spent a ton last winter when I was learning Obj C.

#4Been beta testing as well -- the command line interface alone takes this up a notch over Stack Overflow, with one command you can pipe system info and error messages directly into a new issue.

#5As a fairly high-output Stack Overflow contributor, this is quite interesting.
It seems to say "Stack Overflow is too slow, we need something faster". I tend to think (I'm biased, of course) that SO already is rather fast; i.e. that most questions (in tags I care about) get answered rather quickly. Not only because of me, of course! I'm just a small part of the machinery.
So, what's the next step, a service where I can be registered as a helper and have a computer call me on the phone to get an answer? :)

Hey unwind,
It's not just about speed of response. There are many programming issues that don't fit the SO format. They are open ended in nature and call for a conversation.

That being said, I created desktop notifications so that I can get answers...NOW. I am able to see exactly when someone visits my page in realtime, intercept, and initiate a chat.
