Thanks to this
class I'm now aware of Quora. Being totally
foreign to me until now, I've been enlightened about this so-called
"question-and-answer" website where questions are created to get answers
from people who have firsthand knowledge or experience about a topic. It is anticipated that people with the know-how
and expertise will not only find this kind of platform appealing, but will be further
motivated to contribute to what is believed to be a top-notched knowledge-based
global community. It's really exciting stuff that's quickly catching on.
Interestingly,
because Quora is so secretive about its growth, many believe that it is not
growing while others think otherwise. By the end of 2012, it was believed that
Quora had attracted well over 1.5 million users but again substantiating any
figure is proving to be quite the challenge. Quora's
designers appear to not be focusing on this kind
of data but rather what the site has to offer to the global online community.
Here are a few random questions,
presented through Forbes magazine, that can be found on Quora:
What Was The Best Experience You've Had With An Airline?

The company was formed in 2009 and the site was made public in June of 2010 making it relatively new on the Web 2.0 scene. It was founded by Adam D’Angelo who created it with a simple mission: to share and grow the world's knowledge.
