- GFischer 13y agoBut it's a summary of more than just the 1st answer :) so it's worth it. Though they could have edited it a bit better, or tried to reach the people involved, rather than just repackage the thread in one big article.
- mjolk 13y agoAs someone that doesn't have a Quora account, it's nice to have the content without a Facebook/Google login wall.
- nav1 13y agoYou can append "?share" to the Quora URL to read it without having to log in.
- mjolk 13y agoInteresting, thanks. I wonder if Quora does this to scam on SEO
- null_ptr 13y agoNo question about it. There's no difference between Quora and Experts-Exchange when it comes to SEO deception.
- Theodores 13y agoExpert Sex Change - there, fixed that for you.
- adrusi 13y agoMaybe, but there are perfectly legitimate reasons for such functionality. It is essentially the same as the NYT paywall. It looks bad when someone clicks a link in a tweet only to be told that they aren't allowed to access the content until they take additional steps (either buying a subscription or making an account). So they provide links to bypass the restrictions when they are shared over social media. Can this be used for SEO abuse? Probably, though I couldn't tell you how.
- coin 13y agoAnd Quora doesn't disable pinchzoom like Slate does
- kylelibra 13y agoWhy would you disable pinchzoom?
- krakensden 13y agoBecause you are a "mobile UX expert", which is the latin for "asshole".
- elwell 13y agoSlate is run by Microsoft; need I say more?
- tallanvor 13y agoI can't reply to elwell's comment directly, but Slate has not been a part of Microsoft since 2004.
- freehunter 13y agoUsually if you hit the "link" button above their comment, it will take you to a comment box.
- adrusi 13y agoit makes the page less sluggish. it's impossible to disable double tap zoom without disabling pinch zoom, and while double tap is enabled, browsers have to insert a tap delay. this is because every single tsp could be the beginning of a double tap, so the browser waits until 300ms after a single tap to respond to it. this delay isn't perceptible as a delay, but it does make the entire page feel less responsive. disabling zooming disables the delay and makes the page feel quick again. also disabling zooming makes it feel more like a native app, which some people like.
