Wisteme is a web-based question-driven knowledge system where anyone can log on to get answers to even the most obscure questions. Users can easily search the database for pre-existing answers to their questions or they can post a new question. The interesting part about Wisteme is in how it gets questions answered. Anyone is able to answer questions or edit other answers and they receive free advertising in that question’s space for contributing. Businesses can therefore receive free advertising to a very accurately targeted audience for helping to educate future potential customers. Individuals can also answer questions and will receive free advertising space along with a share of revenues determined by the number of page views their answer has received.
“Wisteme provides a web-based platform where anyone can collaboratively help to build a high-quality, content-rich, question-driven knowledge system. With its unique, patent pending technology, Wisteme empowers its users with efficient question search capability and an effective collaboration management environment. Anyone can be a reader of or contributor to Wisteme.”
By providing a great incentive for people to contribute, Wisteme could quickly become a wealth of knowledge comparable to few others. Recognizing that the best way to encourage contributions is with an economic incentive and allowing businesses to demonstrate their knowledge and advertise at the same time are certainly killer ideas.
How will they ensure that answers are accurate and not tainted by companies trying to sell their product? Communities can self-regulate many things but a bit of control will be needed to ensure that this becomes an unbiased database of knowledge.
