SwapSmarts.com launches Second Generation Ask-The-Expert Site

SwapSmarts connects people who have questions with people who have answers. However, unlike current ask-the-expert sites, SwapSmarts has honed thier vision of the knowledge trading concept and provided a number of new key features:

Micropayments: Minimum cost per question can be as low as 10 cents.

Privacy & Anonymity: All transactions are fully secure and private between member and expert.

Charities: Members can automatically or manually give their earnings to their favorite charity or friends and family.

Pay Per Duration: SwapSmarts features "agreements" between members and experts, where members can buy answers over a period of time, as well as by individual answer.

Using a points system, members answering questions earn SmartBucks(tm), which they can then trade for expert advice, cash, gifts or charitable donations.

"We realize that most of the really useful information in the world is not easily accessible on the Internet," Steve Brown, our COO, said. "It's in people's heads. Not only that, most of this knowledge is not being shared, or shared for free, on discussion forums, news groups, and our competitors sites. If it's shared for free, there is no incentive to share it. We solve that."
