Seriously, if one of the purposes of social networks is to solicit opinions/information efficiently by leveraging other people's personal data filters and views, can anything beat SF? Sure, twitter is more often used but is full of fucking morons with no way of filtering them out. It is also limited to a few characters.
Facebook is rarely used for this purpose, and is limited to people you have real life relationships with.
Google is good, but not if you want opinions. And definitely not for things that haven't been asked before.
Yahoo answers is alright but again, full of morons.
SF has its share of idiots, but much less than other forums I've visited. The user base is also diverse enough that several unique viewpoints can be offered (with the exception of the female perspective, which is usually not a big loss anyway).
I can't think of a better community to ask a question or start a discussion, and get interesting and helpful replies back quickly (CE excepted). Agree/disagree?
In conclusion, thank you all for making SF an awesome resource for all things non-clothing-related.
