I have never logged into Quora. Yet I find the fact that a few of the people answering the questions are authoritative sources fascinating. So stuff like being deluged by a stream of activity from people you follow on Quora is irrelevant for me. In a way, I think Quora stands out because its community of users acts as a sort of imperfect funnel for quality. Interesting questions and answers may become popular. With Twitter, it's hard to see what is relevant. But with Quora, if someone passes along a Quora link you almost know it is going to be good. Especially in the narrow niche of technology and Silicon Valley. Twitter is too democratic; Quora is more republican. Also, clever name.
