| Aug 7, 2011 at 3:29 | comment | added | DampeS8N Mod | I wasn't attacking you, 600 characters just isn't a lot to work with. :) I am against Googlable questions, I wasn't defending them. My examples are where SO has become the solution to what was once not googlable. I want SFF.SE to be the same solution to once not googlable questions. Such as when someone seeks a reading order for Heinlein's World as Myth. We improve Google with our great answers. | |

I'm surprised by your comment because you seem to be refuting my dislike of rejecting googlable questions (i.e. you seem to be against googlable questions), and then you go on to defend those questions. | |

Google is the ideal tool to use because the goal of SE is to make these questions answerable to the world. Not just to regulars of SE sites. We win when someone can Google any question and find a link to SE where it is absolutely answered. That's how it works on Stack Overflow, and is in fact how I came to this network. Every time I asked a code question, I ended up on SO. Eventually I started to look into what it was because it was just so DAMN good at answering my questions. | |
