  In their own words

  Why it might be a killer  

Bug.gd has a simple, direct, to the point interface, which is what users of this site will appreciate since they just want to find solutions. Bug.gd is a great idea, if everyone submits solutions to these errors then users can benefit from a portal of knowledge and no longer be lost. Everyone has dealt with an error message they have no idea how to fix, so this site is very useful.

  Some questions  

Bug.gd is a great site, but maybe it could include some Web 2.0 features. Users could have a user name and a history of errors that they have dealt with. Other users could request their knowledge when they deal with a similar error message and maybe they could come to a solution even quicker. Bug.gd could feature an articles section on error solutions that users could take advantage of to try and fix their computer problems.

Thanks for taking the time to review bug.gd!bug.gd now has a Firefox add-on that makes it even easier to use. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/6138A lot of power users like this approach- tech support professionals especially (of course it's still all free).

I think you misunderstand.(1) Run into an error.(2) Search for the error on bug.gd(3) If you immediately find a solution posted, you win. Great work.(4) If no one posted a solution, then the email is a reminder for *you* to come back after 48 hours and post your solution/workaround.The latter is assuming you're nice enough to try to help future people from having the same issue you did.

I don't like the idea of having to enter an email. Search is a search, if I don't find the answer right away. Likely I wouldn't wait for "48 hours" hoping someone would send me an answer. I mean, why this search is so better than Google that is worth 48 hours waiting?!
