I hope I don't get banned for this. But Digit Magazine is one of my inspiration of starting a Unofficial Support for everything technology. I am sick of Yahoo answer you don't find anything there.. Search engine is too much hard work and forums are too complicated for many people.

So I started www.PleaseGuide.ME I hope Digit community like my concept.

UI's pretty much the same as Stack Exchange - did you use one of the OSQA variants?

Also with Stack Exchange around, I'm not sure I see the incentive to visit yours?

Good initiative but it lacks features and with all those Q/A sites like Yahoo! Answers and StackExchange around, I don't think people will be much attracted. Bring in some unique features.

@Members: Instead of going guns on the OP, why don't you guys give some constructive criticism. These kind of response will put off any person trying to start his own venture.

You don't get to the top on day one. For any product to become solid it requires time and effort + Encouragement.

@nisargshah95 my first thing to do is add new features that will make it easier for users to keep track of topics(question and answers) they may be interested in. PleaseGuide.ME (LOL couldn't resist) to add more features by giving me suggestions

@pravinbv so you are saying I must keep as many less categories as possible?

@Charan thank you so much your reply makes me work better and faster so that I can help people with problems better

@axes2t2 I know.. All my friends say it too.. But I think before I bling the site I better increase features on the site so that the main purpose of the site is fulfilled that is helping people.

@prepare4bank @Piyush Than you for the support.

Got registered on the website. Didn't received the confirmation email, even after clicking a button, specifically designed to do so. Thought to inform OP about that.

Wait. I had opened something similar to this only a few days (week) ago.


My initiative is a bit different, in the sense that my target crowd is college community and the large number of others who don't go online to check items out.

Have a look.
