Does anyone have some idea as to how come questions posted here on SO are showing up so quickly on Google?.

Sometimes questions submitted are appearing as the first 10 entries or so - on the first page within 30 minutes of submitting a question. Pray tell, what sort of magic is being wielded here?

Anybody have some ideas, suggestions?. My first thought is that they have info in their sitemap that tells google robots to trawl every N minutes or so - is that whats going on?

BTW, I am aware that simply instructing Googlebots to scan your site every N minutes will not work if you dont have quality information (that is constantly being updated on your site).

I'd just like to know if there is something else that SO may be doing right (apart from the marvelous content of course)
