I find quora to be awesome for opinions, not so impressive on facts owing to voting by popularity. They both have their advantages, but it would be nice just to have one spot to point everyone who asks about this stuff. I get a tremendous amount of people asking for a primer on SV.
- pclark 16y agoSure. But you want peoples opinions on where to live, where to work, where to meet, how to join a startup. These aren't factual topics - you want the healthy debate?
- TristanKromer 16y agoI think both are critical. Quora questions such as http://www.quora.com/I-am-a-creative-guy-with-a-startup-idea-Where-is-the-best-place-to-find-a-rockstar-developer-to-bring-it-to-life http://www.quora.com/I-am-a-creative-guy-with-a-startup-idea... are a great example. This question gets asked on quora repeatedly and I've answered it a dozen times, but the 212 vote (an counting) answer that I wrote is particularly useless in terms of taking actions, whereas the one I wrote with a practical list of sites and events to check out usually top out at 12 votes, even if they are the top answer. Clearly a simple list of different places is the best answer for this sort of thing and would probably best in ONE wiki article which can be easily found. Not a dozens of nearly identical questions.
- TristanKromer 16y agoOh...perhaps I should also say that I think we should all put links to quora questions in the wiki where appropriate.
