HistoryExperts Exchange went live in October 1996. The first question asked was for a "Case sensitive Win31 HTML Editor".[1]
Experts Exchange went bankrupt in 2001[2] after venture capitalists moved the company to San Mateo, CA, and was brought back largely through the efforts of unpaid volunteers.[3]
Later, Austin Miller and Randy Redberg took ownership of Experts Exchange, and the company was made profitable again. Experts Exchange claims to have more than 3 million solutions.[4] Its users are mainly young to middle-aged males in the IT field.[5]
MarketingExperts Exchange has marketed itself as "not unlike Stack Overflow or Quora," but with an emphasis on human Q&A and an encouragement to ask questions even if they've been asked before.[6]
Membership ModelUnder their current model, Experts Exchange uses a hybrid of paid and free memberships. Users who participate and answer questions can become eligible for free membership known as "Expert Status" while other users can opt to pay for a membership and use the site solely for asking questions.
