Q&A site Quora introduces integrated blogging platform

Q&A website Quora has launched a new blogging platform, according to TechCrunch. The blogging platform automatically distributes posts to users of the website who follow related topics. The blogging platform also supports the traditional upvoting and downvoting system that is present everywhere else on Quora.This comes after Quora co-founder Adam D'Angelo's announcement that the company was planning to expand its scope beyond that of being only questions and answers. The main aim of the company, according to D'Angelo, is to share and grow the world's knowledge. According to D'Angelo: “The internet was supposed to allow anyone to set up a web page and share their knowledge with the world. But in practice it’s too difficult and takes too long and almost no one does it. Blogs are easy to start, but unless the author is famous, it takes years to build a following. More than a billion people use the internet yet only a tiny fraction contribute their knowledge to it.” Click here for full story
