Billed as “humanity’s last remaining hope against computers” Bug.gd is aiming to build a collaborative search and answers database of computer bugs. Duncan Riley - Techcrunch (http://www.techcrunch.com/2007/10/28/buggd-collaborative-search-and-bug-solutions/)

Really simple idea, users jump onto the site, they enter their email address and the bug (error message). If someone already has a solution they will be prompted with the answer, otherwise the user will be shown a message that the bug could not be found.

In general, the user will eventually find a solution, bug.gd will automatically send an email out to the user requesting the solution to the problem so others can benefit later. This will provide a regularly updated collaborative database of problems and solutions (as long as the users follow up on their bug).

The service is free and ad-free, Microsoft have already been generous enough to share 60 000 bug fixes (that's a scary figure).
