Many thanks to those of you who have already posted some very good questions for the world leaders heading for the World Economic Forum in Davos next week. On Monday we'll work out which ones can be answered - we do, by the way, need you to specify who your question is aimed at. When the Davos Conversation page goes live next Tuesday (the day the forum opens) there will be a prominent link from Cif to take you there to get some answers.

For those of you who don't know what this is about, Cif is partnering the BBC, the Huffington Post, Jeff Jarvis's Buzzmachine and the WEF in a joint site integrating blogs, news, video, audio, pictures in an effort to open up the usually closed-door Davos to a wider online audience.

We hope that lots of you will also post video questions via YouTube: here's Jeff Jarvis, occasional Cif blogger and one of those who designed the joint site, explaining how you do it on video. Here's his step-by-step guide posted on his site. Here's Arianna Huffington's blog about how she sees it.

Cif's bloggers include Alan Rusbridger, Julian Glover, Larry Elliott and Ben Hammersley with guest appearances from Ken Livingstone and others.

Keep the questions coming.
