Today I posted a simple non-programming question on Quora after I skimmed an article by MG Siegler espousing its greatness. Ten hours later and I still don't have an answer. The same thing happens to me with Stackoverflow. Sometimes I get argumentative answers but most of the time I get no answer. Maybe I am an idiot but I think sites like this will fail when they are overwhelmed by people who have questions but aren't necessarily in the position to contribute back themselves (hey we are busy!) The utility in these types of sites is the range of questions that will be archived and served off search results for years to come.
