At some point we all seek the expertise of others: it could be simply advice, a query needing answering or even completion of our pending work. Selecting a service provider can be hazardous, and while recommendations (when available) can be useful, more often than not we use directories, with often haphazard results. DIALaBRAIN aims to resolve this issue, it is the marketplace to trade knowledge,
allowing us to tap into and share a wealth of accumulated experience with real people in live interaction. DIALaBRAIN has created a marketplace for real-time, face-to-face services. It provides an easily accessible database of those who are able to give advice, solve problems, consult, tutor and educate. These BRAINs are individuals and companies with demonstrable expertise in their given field. However, unlike traditional databases, DIALaBRAIN enables detailed evaluation of the BRAIN before engagement. We facilitate informed choice, removing the shackles of location, allowing people to work and seek help without the need to travel, and providing expert advice when needed across a broad spectrum of topics. When exploring the various services on offer on the site, please consider the following before engaging a BRAIN:
