A few weeks ago, I wrote about a new resources for expert advice, the Expert Answer Center. This is a mammoth, high-quality, searchable database over 12,000 questions and answers from TechTarget's portfolio of 20 sites, including SearchDatabase.com and SearchOracle.com. If you've got a question about databases, networking, security, storage or operating systems, most likely it has been answered here. Now we've gone one step further in our quest to help you find useful technical information and make your jobs easier. We call it the ITKnowledge Exchange (ITKE), a new twist on the age-old discussion forum concept. After months of fine-tuning, we've just released a fully functional beta version that awaits your visit. ITKE will allow you to connect directly to other members and experts within the TechTarget network in order to ask (and answer) your pressing technical questions. Here are just a few reasons that it's worth a look: You choose your ideal "forum" -- you target your question to only other members who have the specific expertise you need. You choose your own topic areas -- you can define your interests and experience with a high degree of granularity. You choose your level of anonymity -- connect privately with like-minded IT pros or watch from the sidelines. No vendor pitches -- get and share advice with others who have similar job titles and roles, with no marketing fluff. We think ITKE may revolutionize how you in the IT community interact and share information. Give it a try and let me know what you think!
