We’ve just released a batch of features that will make it easier for our recruiting and research partners to refer friends and colleagues to KnowledgeBid listings. We’re also passing higher referral rewards straight through to referring parties. Read the rest of this entry »
Several weeks ago we decided that communication through KnowledgeBid needed to be simplified. Our scheduler and conference call platform worked great when we could get two people on the phone at the same time, but too often calls needed to be rescheduled or one party would forget to dial in.

We took a page out of the YouTube playbook on this one. Now listing owners will see a “Promotional URL” within each of their listings. These URL are shorter than the standard URL we give each listing, which are long and optimized for search engines. Read the rest of this entry »
What you don’t live in front of your computer? Really? OK, we’ll call you. Starting today, buyers and information providers that have calls scheduled through KnowledgeBid will receive alerts via phone roughly 15 minutes before their scheduled call time, along with the standard 12 hour and 15 minute email alerts.

Legal, ethical, and contractual compliance are always on our minds here at KnowledgeBid. Our terms and conditions of participation are quite strict (our general terms and our terms for providers). We have a zero tolerance policy when it comes to misuse. Read the rest of this entry »

Contact us if you’d like to be featured on the front page. Our goal is to build useful expert network management software and create a truly dynamic information marketplace. Let us know what you think! Read the rest of this entry »
As of today, when a new contract is created the confirmation email will include an Outlook Calendar/iCal invitations. This will allow users to add KnowledgeBid calls directly to calendars.

Yet another feature release…providers can now put KnowledgeBid buttons and links on their blogs, websites, social networking pages, or online resumes and link to their KnowledgeBid public profiles. These buttons will help providers promote their profiles allow people to create private listings with them directly. I’ve included some non-linked examples below and you can also see the buttons in action on my blog and Joe’s personal site. Read the rest of this entry »
Joe has been really cranking. Providers can now create public profiles to promote themselves and their areas of expertise. Public profile content is generated from your private profile content. We made a very easy to use control panel which allows you to select which parts of your private profile you would like to be displayed publicly (if any). Read the rest of this entry »
You may have noticed a new button on our homepage that says “Private Listings”. If you missed it, it’s in green right next to the public listings button (screenshot included below). We recently finished private listing functionality and think folks will find it extremely useful.

If you locate someone that you would like to learn from, you can send them a private listing via email. Read the rest of this entry »
