EXPERT NETWORKS: Where is the industry going?
Gerson Lehrman is the big dog, but vertical communities, vertical search engines and alternative information platforms like Monitor110 are moving reputation-based information discovery online. And now the ad-based Google Knol.
Just where is this industry going? Who are the up-and-rising players, which models will prevail, and is it possible for anyone to knock Gerson Lehrman off of their formidable perch? I’d really like to know what you think.

This is part of the experiment I mentioned in a post a few days ago. I have asked this question on LinkedIn, Facebook and now here, on my blog. I think this is a really important topic that warrants spirited, vibrant discussion, but I’m not sure which venue will serve to generate the most and best content. I guess we’ll see. I’ll report back.
