Is TechCrunch really allowed to post entire Quora answers as articles?
- rkudeshi 15y agoForbes has been doing it for a while and @Quora retweets them all the time, so they must be OK with it. (Haven't checked, but assuming they're licensed under Creative Commons?)

- rkudeshi 15y agoOh wow, that is very interesting. I always thought it was Forbes cherry-picking content to repost, had no idea that it was Quora themselves selecting what to essentially "promote" on Forbes. Also, now I know why @Quora retweets the Forbes versions so often! (It always aggravates me, personally - I usually click through to the Quora version so I can see other replies, votes, comments, etc.)
- chris24 15y agoYes, Quora actually does allow that unless the user who posted the content marks it as not for reproduction.
