What do you know more about than most people you know?

The Public Insight Network is based on a simple premise: Everyone has knowledge and insight to share. But when we ask people: "What's your expertise?" they often say, "I don't have any."

We don't buy it.

You might be an expert with the academic credentials to show for it. More likely, you've spent a good chunk of your life practicing, learning and refining a trade, a hobby or a discipline. Whether it's what you studied in college, what you do for a living, or what you think about right before bed, there's something you know.

Help us get a better understanding of you so we can ask you questions relevant to your expertise.

What do you know more about than most people you know (i.e. what are your areas of expertise)?

What are some exciting (or troubling) new developments in the topics or areas you know a fair bit about?

What are the most difficult or intriguing questions in the areas you follow most closely? (In other words: What questions aren't people asking, but should be?)

Who else should we talk to to learn more about these topics?

Now, a few questions to help us better understand your perspective. What do you do for a living?

What organizations do you belong to (professional, fraternal, etc.)?

Where are you present online? (please share links to your blog, homepage, Twitter, etc.)

Which of these best describes your education level?

In what year were you born?

What is your gender?
