ITKE is a new twist on the age-old discussion forum and listserv concepts, allowing you to connect directly to other members within the TechTarget network with similar backgrounds in order to ask (and answer) your pressing technical questions. We recently released a fully functional beta version and I'm happy to report that your reaction has been very positive.
