SmallBusiness.com is a “knowledge sharing community and human-powered search tool” for those running and serving small businesses. The SmallBusiness.com advice network is based on the knowledge management systems of large businesses, meaning that they expect community members to informally share their successes and failures. Users are encouraged to ask for advice on a variety of business topics. Advisors answer questions, and those looking for advice rate the advisor’s advice. Free registration to the site allows for easier knowledge sharing. While the idea behind SmallBusiness.com is a noble one, it’s somewhat disquieting to see that advisors do not need any kind of certification and are not even required to give much information about themselves.
