There is a deliberate reason the sites are split. Spolsky talks about in depth here: http://vimeo.com/37309773 http://vimeo.com/37309773 Since it's largely sociological, it's also the reason my money is on SE as opposed to Quora in this space.
- bduerst 12y agoThanks - that's a great watch. Essentially they're trying to keep SE from becoming a "chat" community, and keep it focused on being a Q&A community. With Yahoo Answers, Usenets, even Subreddits, you have people having conversations within posts, which generates noise for people who were looking for answers to questions.
- judk 12y agoSE has chat forums now, integrated with the main Q&A forums.
