" summary

Quora launches about two years ago and focuses on making each question page the best web source by surfacing expert voting signals and curating answers rather than chasing raw user counts. All content remains author-owned but is reusable with attribution. An iPhone app launched two weeks ago and becomes a major consumption channel while search and social drive most discovery. An API is planned, advertising is a baseline revenue option, and revenue sharing or tighter integrated monetization remain open possibilities.
