Quora has the benefit of founders with a solid network, so the early adopters are heavy hitters with interesting things to say. It's a shame, then, that the user experience is just so... tepid. I'm not really qualified to comment, as I've only encountered Quora via deep links, and sometimes some additional clicking around. But the above summarizes my impression, both from my own limited interaction and from the limited amount of "the buzz" [1] that enters my personal world. Quora became the next cool, limited, (temporarily?) high S/N place to be, after the previous one became too noisy. -- 1 Oops, no pun intended. Although, OT, I have been wondering whether Buzz is going to "make it", longer term, or whether it's already on or being considered for a near term hit list (e.g. Wave's fate (but without an open source spinoff that I can imagine)).
