Reaching people who really know the answer

One of the unique things we do at Peerpong is try and find expertise not only within our own community but across the entire web.  We’ve built a patent-pending indexing platform that is able to look at what people talk about openly online, refine it to the most important key terms and then draw inferences about what a person has an interest in or keen knowledge on.  

Yesterday one of our users asked “Why does it seem like Terry Gross on Fresh Air is always on vacation?”.  We found and got an answer from Sue Spolan (http://twitter.com/extrenergy), who sometimes directs NPR’s Fresh Air.  Probably the only better person to answer would have been Terry Gross herself :)  Here’s her answer - http://peerpong.com/q/cmY98.
