Welcome to Jyve. It is an international, Internet community based, information and knowledge search platform run through the proprietary Jyve hub platform. One of the nicest things about it is that it offers instant access to answers through Skype VoIP voice chat or internet messenger typing chat.



 

The knowledge base already offered is quite broad with the following main categories, each with several sub-categories:

 

•           Arts & Creative Services

•           Business & Finance

•           Computers & Programming

•           Education & Tutoring

•           Health & Medicine

•           Home & Leisure

•           Legal Services

•           Professional Counseling

•           Spirituality & Religion

 

The interface of the system is very simple. First you type in your question then click "Get a Live Answer". And for those looking for another venue of monetizing their knowledge Jyve also provides an excellent opportunity to do just that. The fee for using Jyve as an expert looks also reasonable at around 20% If you are interested in that there three ways of doing it:

 

•           Use the SkypeNet and SkypeWeb buttons on your web or blog pages. After the caller likes what he or she hears - you can ask to initiate the paid part of the call with a simple button push.

•           Install the JyvePro buttons on those web or blog pages if you prefer to initiate pre-authorized VoIP calls.

•           Get listed in the JyvePro directory of experts.

 

Full privacy is also assured there through the ability to use any name that you set your Skype VoIP phone . And as for availability it allows for full flexibility. For example, if the expert’s Skype phone is set to ‘busy’ then no calls will be routed there. Also the calendar feature allows for an easy visual setup of available time periods when the calls can be taken.
