Today, StackOverflow has become the best technical forum in the world. Not only the technical people, but even the Search Engines are also in love with it. It has got its popularity because of the contribution of the experts from various corners of the world. Thousands of questions are asked and replied by different users everyday.
Few weeks before I got an idea which will really help the experts, who are eager to answer the questions asked by various users in StackOverflow. I thought…
"Why not give a try to create something which will notify the experts about every new questions posted in StackOverflow This will definitely increase their interaction with the users."
SO-Notifier, the real time desktop notifier
We created a desktop notifier which will really alert you as soon as a new questions is posted in your favorite area on StackOverflow. This is a freeware designed with VB.net. You are free to copy and redistribute this application but with proper attribution.

- Right click on the bell symbol and add some of your favorite tags.
