I think http://www.namesake.com has covered this idea for the most part.

This is pretty much what we’re trying to do at Yedda (http://yedda.com).

Once you sign up, you indicate what are your topics of interest and knowledge, and how much you’d like to engage (how many questions and how often).

Yedda will reach out to you when there are interesting questions that match your profile, and invite you to answer them.

Your answers are then ranked by the readers of the question based on their helpfulness.

Check it out, I’d love to hear what you think of it, and whether it matches your vision.

It’s a good idea,

I got a similar concept before, but I focused more on how to use everyone’s expertise to help each other. if ranked profiles of experts are available on the Internet, human resources can be better distributed, and monetized.

Say, you are an expert on the field of music, you can help people outside the US find out classic albums during a certain period, and they will pay you some fees for your service!

I’m thinking this for everything — whether you’re an expert in not cooking in general, but niche’s like “Italian Cooking”, NASCAR statistics, Big Ten College Football, Current Political Issues (Democrat views), BMX Bike Building, etc.

I used to work for a “Big 5″ consulting firm and we had something like this to find experts across your 100,000+ collegues. It’s definitely a cool idea. Plus, I’ve always thought online reputation systems are genius – people who are ranked highest tend to be the most vocal advocates, so you get very high-profile influencers championing your company!

That would be really interesting if it was tied into Google’s Custom Search Engine’s and CoOp program. What you are talking about has an extremely long tail!
