PeerPong is a web-based service that  lets  you share your “expertise” in a new way– letting the world get a better understanding of you through social channels. The consumer service is free and anyone can register to use it. The company takes a sophisticated, multi-faceted approach to find the best person to answer any question promptly. With its patent-pending technology, PeerPong analyzes available information online to discover what people are really knowledgeable about and match them with relevant questions.

Signing up is easy and connecting your Twitter and Facebook profile is a snap. Once signed up, PeerPong will then search your networks and interactions and choose some areas where they think you have some knowledge. The next step is  to chose several topics to follow on Peerpong. Currently, PeerPong features experts across 14 major categories, including shopping, health, business, technology, autos, and beauty, as well as dozens of subcategories.

You can also go and help answer other questions and hopefully gain some authority.If your answer is good enough, you score a recommendation. It also uses an algorithm called PeerRank, which analyses your tweets using Natural Language Processing — combining computer science with linguistics to focus on interactions between human languages and computers — to identify potential areas of expertise.

The free service makes it fun and easy to find the right person to answer any question. PeerPong’s PeerRank is constantly improving and growing, indexing people based on their publicly demonstrated interest.
