They say that knowledge is collective by definition. Knowledge that starts and ends within one person is not knowledge in its true sense. Rather, the defining aspects come from the interaction with others if only because boundaries are expanded and further strands to each line of thought are discovered.

Startups.com is an excellent example of that. On the site, people will be able to post every single question that an entrepreneur could feel like asking and have it answered by a community of passionate (and knowledgeable) individuals.

The questions which are asked are located within different categories, and they are actually voted up and down by those who use the site. In that way, it is very easy to find an answer to the most recurrent concerns those who are launching a venture of their own have to face.

Besides, those who offer their insight receive karma points. And if they are particularly active they will receive an accolade in the shape of a bronze, silver or gold medal.

Finally, note that questions can easily be posted through Twitter. That is all the more commendable given the concise nature of the queries that are posted.
