I disagree about Q&A being restricted to verticals, Here are 2 counter examples:
1. Answers.com, 108mm monthly uniques
http://www.quantcast.com/answers.com http://www.quantcast.com/answers.com
2. Yahoo Answers, 20mm monthly uniques
http://www.quantcast.com/answers.yahoo.com http://www.quantcast.com/answers.yahoo.com
And also watch out for Branch.com - it takes Quora model of "Experts Q&A" to "Invite-only Experts talking on a roundtable". Potentially disruptive as it plays on psychology of "exclusiveness" - Evan and Biz stone are betting on it via Obvious Corp.
- 3pt14159 14y agoIf Quora got the adoption that Yahoo answers did, it would end up with answers like Yahoo answers has and similarly talented engineers. The only way Facebook holds onto their talent is that the idiots typically don't make friends with the rest of us. Even reddit looks childish these days.
- DannoHung 14y agoFront page reddit is pretty awful with the exception of /r/askscience (and well, honestly, I subscribe to /r/aww because I love looking at pictures of cute animals), but reddit is actually REALLY great if you find a couple of high traffic subreddits that don't hit the front page and turn off all the default subscriptions. I just wish they'd let subreddits arrange some sort of feeder model amongst themselves. (So stuff posted in /r/haskell could bubble up to /r/coding with sufficient upvotes, for example). That subreddits are siloed is the biggest technical problem. The front page just has the lowest common denominator problem.
- 3pt14159 14y agoAgreed. I basically only hang out at /r/libertariandebates /r/depthhub and proggit.
