Experts Group

What is the Experts Group?:
The Experts Group was founded in January 2001 to join together experts who are truly interested in helping GeoCities web users and who enjoy working and helping other folks.  We recognized a need to develop some control over who is recognized as an expert since Yahoo! GeoCities does not adequately monitor the actions of people who have registered as experts or control who can be considered a “Yahoo Expert”.  Nor can GeoCities properly respond to all the requests for information, complaints, or feedback forms submitted by the millions of users who have accounts.  While we can’t change GeoCities, we can help the user understand how it works.

Quality Feedback and Responses:
The Experts Group is pledged to provide quality feedback and responses to users.  This site acts as a consolidation point where users may find information on experts who have proven themselves worthy of being members and lookup answers to questions commonly asked by other users.  Experts sponsored here are professionals who take the time to fully research your problems and provide answers which will be as complete as possible. You may be comfortable in the knowledge that the answers they provide you are the best, most current available.  They will provide every assistance possible to help you get your site up and running as quickly as possible.

Selective:
Note that all experts listed here are members of the Experts Group and become members by invitation only.  Experts who fail to live up to the charter detailed in the Experts Guidelines will be removed.  Other experts (not invited) may submit an application for consideration to be added to the group. 

To be considered for membership in the Experts Group, send an email to mailto:[email protected] and provide the following information:

Your full name
Your nick name (site id)
Your email address (preferably a Yahoo email address) where we can contact you
Your Yahoo web site
Your background, including number of people helped, feedback, etc.
Your area of expertise

Each application will be considered on its own merit.  People with a history of providing responses contrary to Yahoo! GeoCities guidelines (Terms of Service) will not be considered for membership.

Identifying Experts Group Members:
You can identify members of the Experts Group by the logo on their site:  “Member of Experts Group”.  This logo will be a link to this site from which you can verify their status.  If they are not listed on this site, they are not a member.  Be aware that GeoCities also has a logo which “experts” may put on their sites which basically states “I am a Yahoo Expert”.  They are not necessarily members of this group.
