I've seen a couple references to Quora recently and I guessed it was just a StackOverflow/MetaFilter hybrid and as much as that might be a decent description I have to say I'm still impressed. Even little things like the clean design, friendly tone in their About page and their "challenges" (http://www.quora.com/challenges http://www.quora.com/challenges) all give me a great impression.

- allenbrunson 17y agoif YouTube is worth 1.65 billion, then i'd say yes!
- Maro 17y agoActually, when Youtube sold in 2006 November it was already widely popular. 1650/80 ~ 20. Does this site have Youtube's 2006 November popularity / 20? Or potential? (I don't know, I'm asking...)
- gojomo 17y agoThere is a genre-resemblance to StackExchange -- especially the Q/A/comment three-types of comments. So far, some contrasts are: - nothing as front-and-center about scores/achievements on Quora - Quora far more focused on instant updates/notifications -- to the level of an instant-messenger's "...is typing a message", and immediate advisement of every upvote/response you get As a result, they both feel a bit game-like, but with StackExchange the notable driver is, "I hit a new high level", whereas with Quora, it's "gotta click back to where the new stuff is happening right now".
