I loved it when Paul Carr during the 2010 Crunchies made the joke "hey look into the crowd, are there Quora users in the room? Oh wait, I mean to say all Quora users are in this room". I love Quora because it provides me with a lot of inside knowledge
I feel bad for Quora because of the valuation they got, people are hating on them. It is a simple service that provides a community for techies / entrepreneurs like us. People hate on it because it's prospering with a simple solution, but yet if it's so simple, why didn't they come up with it?
keep in mind the value of Quora also lies within its developers. Adam D'Angelo was the CTO of Facebook, and he is quite amazing. Many original key developers of Facebook is building Quora, thus they have extensive experience and knowledge in this area.
- benologist 16y agoI think the reason it gets ragged on is two things: - The hype is immensely disproportionate to what they're doing and how successful they are - they're the millionth Q&A site both chronologically and by traffic. - TC hype it like they own a piece of it. Quora's got potential and it might even live up to the hype eventually, until then we're constantly pushed to pretend it already won.
