Perhaps I'm confusing Quora with another site, but isn't this the one that throws up a sort of registration wall when you follow a link there? Doesn't happen now when I try, but I'm sure it has in the recent past.
Millions of dollars are being sunk into this site? Why?
- wilfra 14y agoQuora is amazing. I don't know if they'll disrupt Google or Wikipedia but the quality of the content there is light years ahead of any similar site. You post a legal question and get a bunch of lawyers competing to give you the best answer. Post a question about the early days of Facebook and get 12 early employees all competing to give you the best answer. You post a question about the cops and get amazing answers like this from police officers: http://www.quora.com/Crime/What-should-you-do-if-someone-puts-a-gun-to-your-head http://www.quora.com/Crime/What-should-you-do-if-someone-put... Join the site and poke around a bit if you still don't understand. It's like HN. Why is HN so awesome? Because the caliber of people posting here is off-the-charts relative to every similar site. Same with Quora.
- btipling 14y agoInteresting about the gun to your head anecdotes is that they'll only ever be told by people who survived these kinds of encounters.
- prawn 14y agoI've only stumbled across Quora a few times and don't really know many people who would even have heard of it, but what you've described sounds like AskScience on Reddit. Though their design isn't as nice.
- IsaacL 14y agoIt's better than HN. I like HN, but after using it for a few years I noticed something wrong with the comments here that I couldn't quite articulate. Then I saw Quora, which showed me just how good a discussion community could be.
