Using SpecializeIn you can create your own custom space for people to ask questions and have them answered; a space where people can collaborate and exchange advice on specialist subject areas.
As one size does not fit all, who answers the questions is up to you; either one of your staff, an group of invited experts or other users of the site helping each other - creating a space where your own customers answer the questions.
Of course privacy is an issue sometimes so who can see and ask the questions is your choice. You can limit access to invited participants or openly share your knowledge. If you have a public site questions are asked and answered and Google* will index them so new customers looking for answers in your field will find you organically as part of their research rather than part of a hard sell that many will ignore.
Think of it as socially aware lead generation or a user powered help desk for your product. Of course it doesn't have to be commerce driven. Homework help, advice on the best kind of glue to use with model aeroplanes or pet snake care advice. If you’re a specialist in something we’re not covering ask for an invite to use specializein to set up your own site.
