Aren't quora and "mainstream" at odds though? Quora is about quality questions, the majority of mainstream people that would use a Q&A site are the sort of people that use(d) Yahoo Answers, the sort of questions that you want to exist for long enough to get a reply but once they have been replied they hold absolutely no value to anyone.
How can Quora "go mainstream" and avoid this problem?
- noahc 14y agoThe simple answer is that you redefine mainstream. Mainstream doesn't mean that everyone uses it like Facebook, but instead that "everyone" uses it just like "everyone" uses shopify or github. Quora goes mainstream when a certain elite, much like the Salons of Paris, gather there. Academics, Business, Cultural, Medical, Scientific and Technology elite all show up.
