Where do you go to find answers?

There are more and more sites coming online that allow you to ask questions.  So which site(s) do you use?

Traditional

These sites are more of the old way of finding out answers, you don’t really interact, just find your answer on the existing documentation that is posted:

• https://support.microsoft.com
• https://technet.microsoft.com
• https://msdn.microsoft.com

Forums

There have been forums for a while where you can track down information that you have questions about:

• https://forums.asp.net
• https://forums.microsoft.com
• https://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/default.mspx

Social Web 2.0

Now there is a new class of sites coming up that allow you to have a lot more control over what gets asked and what answers are given:

• https://qna.live.com
• https://answers.microsoft.com
• https://www.stackoverflow.com

 

There are other sites and other types.  I’d like to hear if you use these sites or any others to get the answers to your questions.  I know there are blogs that you can use also, so feel free to list those here as well.

  Since there are so many sites, I normally use www.google.com to search for anwers. If I want to actively participate (ask or answer a question) I go to forums.asp.net or stackoverflow.com. One important site you forgot to mention is www.codeproject.com.
