I'm tempted to agree, with the minor caveat that I wish they'd thrown this over to http://gis.stackexchange.com/ instead. I can see why not, in that many of the questions are not, strictly speaking, GIS related. The exposure to more people on these lists of GIS concepts wouldn't hurt, though. In any event, I do like the idea of Google support actively monitoring Stack Overflow and helping out there. It's a better way in many ways to help eliminate duplicate questions and encourage community support. Keeping the code dumps down may be problematic, though....
