I think that's their main thrust at this point.
However, I've recently seen Q&As regarding my home town:
- What are the best restaurants?
- What is parking like?
- What are the hidden gems in the city?
- Etc.
The quality of the answers is higher than what you'd see on Yahoo Answers, and more timely.
So, I can envision a Quora that is valuable outside of technical questions.
But that assumes they can retain the quality and keep the timeliness, IMHO.
To use SO as an example: StackOverflow is running into the timeliness issue: I've been building a Rails 4 app recently, and a LOT Of SEO questions are out-of-date on. I can google around that problem due to my professional needs, but I doubt a general Q&A site would retain an audience in the long-term if the same problem emerged.
