When I look at stackoverflow.com I see a website filled to the roof with almost nothing but tags. Really. Tags. What have they done for me lately? Maybe the odd chuckle at a small bit of creative sarcasm every other week or so, but otherwise, nothing. That's right. Nothing. : )

Seriously, why would I want to learn how to drive yet another needlessly complex amalgamation of reddit, digg, yahoo answers, eharmony, and slashdot all rolled in to one very unattractive interface. (That last bit about attractiveness is perhaps a small bit subjective)

Karma, badges, points - Meh. Who cares. It's not a popularity contest, it's real life.

I like talk.maemo.org just the way it is. I don't like the whole brown thing, but the site is easy to navigate, fairly logical, with tons of useful information.

You feel the Stack Overflow interface makes communication easier? That is about as subjective as me calling their site ugly : ) I disagree good sir. It is cold and clinical. It assigns more importance to page views and ranking than it does to actual content. It assumes a "Question" and "Answer" format rather than a "Community" discussion arena. I prefer the latter.

Anyway, that ends my small soapbox rant for today.
