I read an interesting article in my latest Wired magazine about a new web site called Quora. The article helps spell out what the site is in more detail. A quick summary is that it is a way to gather knowledge in a more coherent, crowd sourced question & answer format.
I have only really been on there for a week or so, and I haven't done a lot of answers yet. And so far none of my answers has been voted up or down. I don't think it is all that popular yet, so I wanted to spread the word. I do think this has a lot of potential, as it has the ability to merge the crowd sourcing of a Web Forum, with the Q & A format of Google, and a Yahoo Answers.
I have set it up so that when I respond to a question the question will be posted as a link on Twitter, and I have the ability to also link on my Tumblr, although I will probably only do so for threads where the question and answers are more developed.
