Overview
The Stack Overflow For You feature is a personalized, running feed of notifications, actions, and alerts for each user on the site. The For You page can help you get more from your Stack Overflow site in several ways:
Richer knowledge base For You alerts reveal actions you can take to create a deeper pool of shared knowledge.
Up-to-date information For You alerts help keep content from going stale. You can receive alerts when questions need answers, or when out-of-date content needs a refresh.
Streamlined knowledge sharing For You provides a central location with actions and steps to share your expertise.
