Second beta invitations sent out

~50 Friends Whose Opinions on Online Jewish Stuff I'm Particularly Interested in Hearing.

(If you didn't get one of these invitations, that doesn't necessarily mean that you don't fit into that exalted group. It's probably just an oversight, which I apologize for.)

The reason that I'm particularly pushing for people to ask questions is that in the most recent podcast by the creators of the technology that runs mi.yodeya, one of them (Joel Spolsky) pointed out that after looking at the data, it seems that the success of a StackExchange is predicted more by the early prevalence of interesting questions than by the presence of people who can answer them. If you get the former, it turns out, the latter will come.
