Insanely cool product from a killer team of builders.

thanks semil!

I don't think investors would do it, but you can aggregate it from conferences/events.

how about the community contributing as well? for example if you know Dave McClure will be at FailCon on august 16th, you can post the link to the event with investor name and date. We verify and post to the investor profile. Not scalable. But could generate the initial data.

Ugh. Yeah. Tried to redo ;-)

I am a huge Quora fan and user but would have to agree with this assessment. Most of Quora's traffic "lurks" and this will be the search audience they need to get. What they're doing now is trying to make sure they have your account credentials to monitor what you "lurk" for. At some point, my guess is that they'll remove this tactic. I will say, however, that the web created "inside" Quora is some of the richest, most high-fidelity information on the entire web, and it may not exist elsewhere.

Interesting - right now, can a user set a picture to not expire?

no.

For an app like SnapChat, at scale they "could" make money by inserting ads based on location, two friends "snapping," or ad-on features. But, would need to reach scale, which they may just do.

Hey Scott, this is a great point. Well said.

Hi lutusp,

Thanks for pointing out the typo. Your advice is good, too. I wrote this because I am often asked this question.

Hi David, I definitely agree with you. But there have been a few occasions, at least, where I've seen a great product and they have initial downloads, but it's tough to keep sticky. Again, this isn't an apology, but I believe the burden rests solely on app makers in this case.

It was Adam, not Charlie, that invested in the company.

Adam has 1-2 orders of magnitude more wealth than Charlie outside of Quora (due to earlier/bigger role at Facebook), so it's probably reasonable that only Adam invested.

There's a bug in the back of my brain wondering if the recent round was Adam buying Charlie out.
