This past week I couldn’t avoid all the Quora talk. I guess I was oblivious to it for a while because until last Wednesday I had no idea what it even was. I signed up for what many are saying is the next Twitter.

Here’s what they say it’s all about:

“Quora is a continually improving collection of questions and answers created, edited, and organized by everyone who uses it. The most important thing is to have each question page become the best possible resource for someone who wants to know about the question.”

Reading many of the questions it was amazing the amount of knowledge people were willing to share about a given subject. It’s definitely a platform perfect for over-sharer’s otherwise known as “Social Media Experts”.

The cynical side of me hates the site because it’s really just a platform for those loudest voices on the web to pontificate on their vast knowledge of awesomeness, but I can see the real value of being able to get great answers to hard business questions from top level executives, and experts.

I wonder what the site will look like when Kraft Macaroni starts answering who makes the best Mac & Cheese, or when Aston Kutcher’s answer to the best hotel in Vegas is the favorite one.

It’s early in the site’s history, and currently it is quite pure and honest. Only time will tell wether money, advertising, and the need for new eyeballs will turn the site into Ask.com or Yahoo Answers.
