Ask HN: Rate my startup beepl.com (http://alpha.beepl.com)
The best way to get users to answer questions is by matching the right questions with the right people.
Beepl does exactly that by measuring users' interests, their involvement in various topics, the quality of their contribution and the level of their expertise within a specific field.
We call it a social expertise footprint: http://alpha.beepl.com/user/stevenf
Beepl is a bit more like Vark, less like Yahoo! Answers - it's a question platform.
And we've got in twitter too (with the facebook soon to follow): http://alpha.beepl.com/twitter/
Launching in private alpha (or maybe even going live) in September 2010.
What do you think?
PS - I'm getting in new features daily, plus it's running off of a single 0.5GB gogrid instance (nginx), it may be that there're some things temporarily broken....
Thanks,
Jan Paricka
