Danh ngôn của Adam D'Angelo (Sứ mệnh: 5)

There's a lot of information that has been in peoples' heads and hasn't gotten onto the Internet. Even as the Web has gotten really big, there's just been this gap. So we made Quora as a general place for people to share knowledge of all kinds.
I really like knowledge and reading books and just generally immersing myself in information.
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.
A lot of people really like to answer questions, and they really enjoy sharing their knowledge. Especially people who have valuable knowledge.
Our goal is to build this up as a knowledge base that anyone can look at. We're not just interested in people answering their friends' one-off questions.
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.
Questions and answers is a big space, and there are lots of possible systems that you can create for different goals.
