Maybe I just got up on the wrong side of the bed, but am I the only one who was put off by this comment: "Quora’s membership is growing largely because of the attention that TechCrunch has given it."?

In terms of Table Storage, since they are running on EC2 instances if I'm not mistaken, couldn't you use Amazon's SDB?
