I has occurred to me that this is the perfect platform for a Stack Overflow Q&A style site. As a programmer that site is invaluable to me, and people merely participate for on-site reputation, and/or the understanding that they will need to use the same resource themselves when they have a question. But what if everyone was making money while helping each other out with technical problems in their field?
People have complained that lucky memes are earning some folks hundreds and even thousands of dollars. I see no need to tear down the success of others, but wouldn't it be so much better to see people making hundreds or thousands of dollars because they found that JavaScript bug that was frustrating the hell out people? This would be an excellent opportunity to not only encourage new questions on this site, but also reward commenters just as much as posters.
Of course SO isn't the only site with this style. There are other Q&A sites for different subjects, and of course Quora, a general site. We need to build the same functionality here. So the question, and the point of my post, is how? Can it simply be done with tagging? Is it enough to start with #programming and then add more specific tags? I think we need to work on forming a community standard on how to search for Q&A style content, thus building a framework for these subgroups. For example, we could make a standard where we add '-help' to tags for the relevant subgroups, like #programming-help or #business-help - maybe #general-help for Quora-style free for all.
