I just created an account and logged in using my twitter. Pretty painless and I was soon presented with a stream of topics that interest me, highlighted by people I follow on twitter. Interesting and already relevant. However, it was pretty much noise. The specific questions asked were fun, but not something I would like to spend any significant time dedicated to either answering or reading about. That being said, with the rise fo Twitter, many people stopped blogging. I can see how this might get people to write something more meaningful and longer than 140 characters again...and since they are "hanging out" with an people they already have some interest in, it might work. Interestingly, I think it almost fails as a Q&A site on first glance b/c the search seems so horrific. Will I go back? Probably not. I would rather still use Google, which has better search, and see Quora in that feed. Will other people create content for Quora, thereby creating value for Quora? Yes, undoubtedly. It happened with Mahalo, Stack Overflow and Digg/Reddit...it will happen here. To the scale Quora needs? Not sure. Depends if Google picks them up and if they open up to third party tools ala Twitter. Is it the future of blogging? Probably not.
