Methods and apparatus for facilitating information exchange between an information requestor and one or more information custodians via a network are provided. The information requester creates an information request message and sends it to the apparatus. The apparatus then determines an appropriate information custodian based on predetermined categories and other information. Subsequently, the apparatus sends an answer request message to that information custodian. The information custodian replies to the answer request message with either an intermediate answer message or a reroute message. When an intermediate answer message is received, the apparatus sends a final answer message to the information requestor. Optionally, the apparatus records some or all of the messages for subsequent retrieval.
