- jjeaff 6y agoI'm not particularly prophetic when it comes to how businesses play out, but I remember thinking that quora was a cool idea on a small scale but knew that it would turn to garbage as soon as it got popular. For the entrepreneurs out there: Everything doesn't have to be social. Sometimes you can build a business around great, curated content and it can be beautiful.

I can't actually think of a curated content business that has no social features. Social is textual gold. People love interacting with other people. Certainly not an information content business. Perhaps curated physical products.
