New Proposal for Social Knowledge Access, XperLink, Aims to Take the Online Conversation to Brand Ne

BRUSSELS - March 16, 2013 - PRLog -- The founders of the XperLink information-sharing platform, launched in 2012, are announcing the availability of their platform to help users add a new dimension to the online conversation.

Internet Realities: The Seeds of the XperLink Platform

XperLink founders developed the site in response to several realities of the current state of the "information superhighway" known as the web 2.0. They recognised that whilst the vast amount of information available on the internet makes research easier than it's ever been, the reliability of that information is often highly questionable. In fact, with the proliferation of social media sites that have grown up in recent years, one quickly finds that, along with the fruitful and beneficial information, we also consume a lot of dross. With that fact firmly in mind, XperLink's four co-founders, who hail from France, Germany, Belgium and the U.K., determined to create a site where users would have direct access to reliable experts from all over the world.

XperLink: Dependable and Convenient Information Access

The purpose of XperLink is to help everyone, from students and researchers to scientists, managers, entrepreneurs and other professionals, to connect with experts and fellow sojourners who can answer their most burning questions. The site is also intended to be a forum where people everywhere can share ideas, debate the topics that are of burning importance to them and have their voices heard.

One major goal of the project is to help people weed out the "vast quantities of useless information" that fill their inboxes and monopolise their time online. By providing a convenient online hub where users can congregate to find dependable informational resources, the XperLink founders aim to do their part to help users save time whilst helping the internet "retake its place at the heart of the progress of civilization and not content itself with being the domain of rumour and misinformation."

XperLink's Founders: "The Information Architects"

XperLink co-founder Antoine Fournier shares the site's simple philosophy: "Do not just follow people, follow ideas." The XperLink endeavour aims to facilitate just such a pursuit by serving as "a platform for setting ideas free."

XperLink's founders understand what it takes to share knowledge. All come from knowledge- and content-management technology backgrounds, with expertise as IT specialists and sales and marketing experts. Their relevant professional experience gives this powerful quatuor a unique perspective and uncommon insight into the elements required to facilitate such a workable knowledge-based project.

Known collectively as "The Information Architects," this creative, forward-looking and idea-driven group, which aims to become one transformative factor in the evolution of the internet, believes the social media paradigm is shifting. The considered opinion of these highly experienced informational insiders is that the current social media model is fast trivialising and making internet relationships inoperable, and they believe that "It is time to put social relationships back at the center of the development of modern human systems, and of the creation and innovation process."

XperLink: The Best of Both Worlds

Its founders describe XperLink as "a platform for free expression, half way between a meta-forum and a social media website." As such, the platform gives users the best of both worlds, allowing them to interact and connect in meaningful ways whilst also both securing the knowledge they need and adding to the collective conversation and general body of knowledge by stimulating serious and productive debate – a definite win-win for all.
