This really helps with things like spelling, rephrasing and correctly categorizing the questions.
I don't see fb a direct threat to Quora. Perhaps an inevitable partnership/acquisition is down the road?
- OoTheNigerian 16y agoWhy this is different is that they have 500 million users from day one! Quora is all about the bay area (at least now). Facebook is about the world. My opinion is Stack overflow will survive but not a general Q&A site like Quora.
- pedalpete 16y agoI would add to your list c) they've done a great job with autofill on the question form, resulting in users getting answers to their questions without actually needing to post anything. I've never posted a question because I've always found somebody else has already answered (or asked a better question).
