Abstract: A method and system, executed by a server, for receiving questions from users regarding one or more topics and providing answers from a set of experts. Users direct questions to one or more experts selected by the users, who in turn answer the questions and/or refer the questions to other experts. The system is deployed at multiple network sites that provide multiple question and answer forums, each directed to predetermined topics. An expert who answers a question presented at a forum on one network site is thereby able to post an answer to the forum on the one network site, and to selectively post the answer to another forum on another network site at which the question was not presented.
