I have a q&a site with 4 million visitors a month - an ESL learning site. We have 2 employees, total cost https://siteanalytics.compete.com/quora.com/ they have only a million visitors a month??? - I'm guessing that must be wrong. My question: What in pickled f*s are these people doing with 80 million on a Q&A site? How far out of the reach of reality is this industry?

Really americans are fucking idiots. They think whatever they think and use is correct! Stupid assholes. So if americans use some otherwise popular qna website much less, they think it's foolish to spend 80 million fucking dollars on that. Enjoy the fucking kickstarter.
I didn't follow them for a while; but that's curious: what happened in the middle of 2013? https://www.dropbox.com/s/w68v2r2a3xq4c6c/%D0%A1%D0%BA%D1%80...

Second, there is no way Quora only gets 1.5 million visitors per month. They have an Alexa ranking in the 400s. Yes, the tech audience skews this, but even a tech-heavy audience can't skew it that badly. Getting in the top 500 of Alexa is very, very difficult.
My guess is that they get at least 10 million visitors per month.
Can someone explain how there a place for Quora? The only niche I can think of is generic technical advise. Stackoverflow answers all the tech questions but they are overly pedantic to the point of ridiculous when it comes to generic tech questions. Hackernews should have been the correct place for generic tech advise but we don't see questions of that nature here. May be as far as tech advise goes people from startu…
"Hackernews should have been the correct place for generic tech advise but we don't see questions of that nature here." In my experience HN isn't a great place to ask questions like that, at least not any more. I tried to post an "Ask HN" question about pricing hardware and working with re-sellers the other day. First, under a newly created account so I could share more details; that submission was immediately killed…

Update Techcrunch is now reporting the valuation at $900MM.
Just make it 9 Billion. Seems the way the valley goes these days.

It is a really good Q&A site. I was a Quora Top Writer in 2012 and 2013, and I've also built a lot of web stuff and spent a lot of time studying web communities. Purely from a craftsmanship perspective, they've done an incredible job. The visual design, the interaction design, the writing and reading experiences, the social incentives, the notification system: all of it is top notch. That said, I have never understoo…
"The visual design, the interaction design, the writing and reading experiences, the social incentives, the notification system: all of it is top notch." I SO disagree here. It's a mess. It's 10x more complex than it needs to be. And it's horribly unapproachable for new/non-geeky users. I've had non-technical relatives sit down and try to use it who were positively baffled by the user-experience. I think Quora is an…
>Founded in 2009 by former Facebook engineers, Quora is a revenue-less, question-and-answer service with 500,000 topics and an unknown number of users. >Quora has now collected more than $140 million in funding from investors. How could this possibly end well for the investors? EDIT - besides a FB acquisition.

I do like their simple form and layout, they have indeed got an elegant site. Nice piece of UX engineering without a doubt. There can't (in my v. humble opinion) be any realistic way of recouping 80 million from a Q&A site. They would surely need to be extremely aggressive at the least.
