piersonthe.netWhy I'm loving Quora at the moment
I asked my first question on Quora back in October of last year. Since then I've asked 54 questions and given 140 answers. Not a huge amount, but recently I've noticed that it's very easy to get answers from people who have worked on some pretty major stuff.
For example, a couple of days ago I was watching Toy Story and had a question about it. Within 12 hours, I had an answer; not from a film buff (although that too would have been good) but from someone who actually worked on the film! This, to someone who has no connections to the industry, is a fairly remarkable thing.
More and more people are getting into Quota and this means that more and more questions can be answered by people who actually know the answers, as opposed to those who have an opinion. This is where Quota will become a phenomenal tool I. the future. And why I love it. The people on it are knowledgeable, friendly and, above all, rather than write a condescending answer to a silly question, take the time to answer in a way that enables both the asker and those who come and read the questions later to come away knowing something that hadn't known before.
