I think an interesting path for stackoverflow would be to provide live channels for technology support and conversation. A bit like public slacks.

I remember a few technologies that officially said something like "support is provided through custom stackoverflow tags", but it didn't bring more functionalities.

A company trying to launch its new technology (i can imagine asp.net core for example) could have an associated community channel to talk about it, with automatic links from tags. That would be a nice addition.

Do you mean something like https://chat.stackoverflow.com/
I was hoping nobody would point me to something like that :D So either my idea sucks, or they didn't do a good job advertising the feature...
That's pretty much Gittr, and perhaps a few similar clones.
