Quora is a question-and-answer website where questions are asked, answered, edited and organized by its community of users. The firm was founded in June 2009, and the website was made available to the public on June 21, 2010. Users can collaborate by editing questions and suggesting edits to other users' answers.
.This was co-founded by two former FACEBOOK employees Adam D'Angelo and Charlie Cheever.D'Angelo resigned from facebook in 2010 especially to establish QUORA. He said that he and Cheever were inspired to create Quora because "we thought that Q & A is one of those areas on the internet where there are a lot of sites, but no one had come along and built something that was really good yet."
It increased its status eventually.They even launched a blogging platform.Here we can post questions and even if you are interested can post answers to them.Based on your answers you can gain upvotes and increase your following.You can also be as an anonymous so that any one cant see you; if you are really not interested in showing your presence.
- Quora requires users to register with their real names rather than a screen name, and the site is essentially unusable if a user is not logged in and using cookies.
- Users may also log in with their Google or Facebook accounts.They can upvote or downvote answers, and suggest edits to extant answers provided by other user.
- By default, Quora exposes its users' profiles, including their real names, to search engines.
