Thanks for the answers given so far… I suppose the SBA is for US entrepreneurs and won't help as much international small-business business people. I was hoping to find something like an interactive site or blog where one can post marketing questions and get answers from professional marketers…. well, yes, much like this site but specialized for marketing only…
Not from the search I just did. Individual questions are no answered but common questions are answered at the site below from what Im reading
Are there other websites that provide free answers for marketing-for-small-business related questions?

Your questions and comments are important to us! The Answer Desk is the only national toll-free telephone service providing information to the public on small business problems and concerns; moreover, this service provides general information about SBA programs and other programs available to assist the small business community. Because of the volume of comments and questions we receive each day, we may be unable to immediately respond to all of your calls or messages. A reply to your email message (answerdesk@sba.gov) may take up to five working days (typically Mon – Fri except holidays). Business Information Assistants are available to speak directly with you between the hours of 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM (East Coast Time) by calling the Answer Desk at 1-800-U-ASK-SBA (1-800-827-5722). Outside of these hours, you may hear a recording of the information 24 hours, seven days a week.
In most cases, your calls and emails will go to one of our many Business Information Assistants who are educated in all aspects of SBA's Programs and Services and you should receive a rapid response. See our privacy statement regarding emails. In cases where questions are of a technical nature regarding the operation of the web site, questions of this nature will be forwarded directly to the webmaster by us. If you are requesting a link or wanting to link to our site, see our "Linking Criteria" prior to making your request.
Whether you are starting a business or operating an established business, the US Small Business Administration has a variety of programs to assist you. Free one-on-one counseling is also available locally to help entrepreneurs and potential entrepreneurs in the areas of financing, management technology, government procurement, and other business related areas.
