“Anything you want to know, you go to Quora and get it. And at the same time, give people a platform that is easy to use for sharing the knowledge.”
“I have a view that if you build something that's good, and you keep making it better, it lasts.”
“When we get people to log in, they end up using Quora a lot more, and we can provide a lot better experience for them. We can show them a personalized news feed; we can send them digest emails and do all this ranking to find some stuff they want to read.”
“I think as more people use the phones to access the Internet, they have a lot less patience for trying to find things on the search engines. That is because you need to figure a lot of things out for search to work.”
“More than a billion people use the Internet, yet only a tiny fraction contribute their knowledge to it.”
“When companies get big, they slow down. They're not as exciting. If you want to get something done, it takes a lot of time and a lot of meetings.”
“Blogs are easy to start, but unless the author is famous, it takes years to build a following.”
“We're more interested in someone writing a really great answer that's going to be read by thousands or tens of thousands of people over the next few years as it stays on Quora and as it gets distributed on the Internet.”
“I really like knowledge and reading books and just generally immersing myself in information.”
“A lot of people really like to answer questions, and they really enjoy sharing their knowledge. Especially people who have valuable knowledge.”
“On Quora, you're not answering questions because you want to get points or because you have nothing else to do.”
“Questions and answers is a big space, and there are lots of possible systems that you can create for different goals.”
“In 2007 I was at Facebook, and we looked at some of the social networks in Asia, and they were full of games.”
