There are no perfect solutions. It seems to me that Twitter is not conducive to technical Q&A and given the choice between Facebook and LinkedIn, it seems that the professional social network is more likely to gain traction. Nobody has to participate if they don't want to; it's just about adding a choice and seeing whether or not people really want this kind of thing. > Hmm, wouldn't http://serverfault.com/ or http://www.quora.com/ be a > more > appropriate / efficient forum for technical questions ?

As for serverfault, that is a good idea but serverfault is not really for general IP networking questions related to routing and switching or ISP networking. Therefore, I have proposed that the operators of ServerFault and StackOverflow create a new site called NANOG (maybe it shouldn't be exactly that name). http://area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/29470/nanog If you have questions, comments, or want to commit to using the site for Q&A, please visit it and join in. It accepts Google, Yahoo, MyOpenID, AOL and Facebook credentials. --Michael Dillon http://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=13566587
