Why do you think it's just for famous people or that it's a monopoly? Are you really going to track down a prisoner and ask them what they feel about getting a life sentence?

I don't know why you don't like Quora (or maybe you do and thought I was saying it's a monopoly for famous people? In which case I'd clarify that's not what I believe, nor what I believe I wrote). Do you dislike Quora because you think other people wrongly think it's a monopoly? I don't think anyone thinks that. If you browse the site I think its value will make more sense to you because it has a lot of interesting content, as evidenced by random news sites scraping content from Quora.

I don't have a stake in Quora but I was trying to understand your perspective. It's cool if information/debate is not your goal in this thread. Maybe you want to be erroneously critical because you find it funny or enjoyable- that's fine and doesn't affect me. My perspective is that Quora is fun, well done, and a valuable source of fascinating information despite not being a monopoly.

Quora organizes the information on the internet pretty well too. Even if you can get the same information via googling, you often wouldn't google the information. I've found myself learning a lot about topics I'm interested in that I don't tend to set up Google alerts for. For example, you can find a lot of interesting information about India when you read answers to "What are the most surprising facts Westerners could learn about India?" that would not typically show up if I just googled "India," which I would probably not randomly do anyway.
