Stack Exchange

In the beginning there was stackoverflow.com. I place where programmers can ask questions, and get answers from other people.

They realised this kind of website would work well for questions about anything: bicycles, beer, gardening, martial arts...

So, they created stackexchange, a place where people can create a question and answer community around a particular topic.

It works like this:

There is a black stack exchange header at the top of every community:

stackoverflow-header

A menu on the header lets your see the communities:

stackexchange-communities

Your account for one community works for all the others, when you join a new community you see:

stackexchange-bicycles-join

On the main stackexchange.com site, you can actually see content from all communities:

stackexchange-questions-from-all-sites

And a nice patchwork of the communities:

stackexchange-all-sites

Your inbox is shared across all communities:

stackexchange-shared-inbox
