C# Hashes, StackOverflow, and SEO

I must give props to Jeff Atwood and the StackOverflow guys.  I hadn’t actually checked it out, but I read CodingHorror a lot, and recently (as in yesterday, in fact) read an entry there about what Jeff has learned about SEO.  It wasn’t very sophisticated in an SEO sense, and basically boiled down to “yay for sitemaps!”.

But today I went out looking for a convenient C# 3.0 hash initialization syntax.  I was sure there was a way to do it, but just couldn’t remember if I’d ever learned it.   Went straight to google, and there at the bottom of the page was this entry on stack overflow: Literal Hashes in C#.   That’s impressive.  Not sure whether I should be complementing Jeff, Google, the StackOverflow community, or all 3.  But having that page show up on page one of the Google search results after only being live for a few weeks is pretty great.  And it was just what I needed.
