This concept is really neat not to mention useful. It is sometimes annoying the post on traditional forums like SO and have to wait for a response you may never receive. This makes getting help seem a lot more direct and immediate. Its sort of like E-mail and Instant messaging. SO would be like Email, still useful of course, and EngineHere is the instant messaging platform for a more dynamic/instant environment..
That was the goal. As I've built it, I've been actually posting the bitly links to my issue pages on Stack Overflow, IRC, and elsewhere. I set desktop notifications for myself and go about my work until someone hits one of my pages (I then start a chat)
