Leveraging on the success of Quora, niche Q&A sites are popping up everywhere. There's a Quora for the enterprise, and even a Quora for the legal community. Even Facebook is throwing its hat in the ring with Facebook Questions. Today Kommons is launching as a Q&A site focused on eliciting answers from public figures on Twitter. The platform sits entirely on top of Twitter, so any question your present or follow on the site is Tweeted out (you sign in with your Twitter credentials). The idea of Kommons is to leverage Twitter to form a crowd around a question to a public figure and use that to pressure public figures to answer. You can see examples from Clay Shirky, Jay Rosen, and Jeff Jarvis.
