Ok, today we’re playing jeopardy. I’m giving you the question: What is Quora?
— A tool for improving dental hygiene?
— A movie about the attack on Pearl Harbor in WWII?
— An element of new math?
— A supplement guaranteed to help you lose 50 pounds in 3 weeks?
Give up? If I told you it was another social media tool and that it’s pretty cool, you would never have started reading. But I tricked you… (are you still reading?)
Quora is a “continually improving collection of questions and answers created, edited, and organized by everyone who uses it.” Hmmm, sounds like Wikipedia. Here are some ‘questions” that I’ve opted to follow:
- Why is Barnes and Noble doing well while Borders is near bankruptcy?
- What should the Winkelvoss twins have done to protect their idea?
- Why do start ups fail?
- What are some really good April Fools Day jokes to play on your friends?
- What life experiences help children develop concern for others?
If you have a curious mind, you may enjoy Quora. Oh by the way, here’s advice on using Quora for your job search. Now go start laughing, learning and collaborating!

March 3, 2011Great post- I’m wondering if you can go back in and link up the bulleted questions you follow- I want to read them myself (and am apparently lazy) 😉
