First off, Compete.com is a JOKE (I've regularly seen it off by 10-100x). Second, investors care about growth more than traffic-- do we have any data on Quora's growth? Third, Quora's founder/team is pretty bankable-- a failure scenario for them is an $80M acqui-hire. Assuming preferred shares or liquidation prefs by the new investors, that almost entirely de-risks this investment. That coupled with their long term ambition (supplant Wikipedia?) makes this a non-terrible bet.

Wikipedia doesn't want your Facebook login before you can read the answer. Seriously, any talk of Wikipedia around Quora is strictly Quora's wishful thinking. This will never happen.
