Let me start with a disclaimer: I am not writing this in my capacity as a university professor or researcher; I don?t claim to be an expert on social networking; and I will be happy to be proven wrong?I have no vested interest in the success or failure of Quora. �And given the fire I?ve already taken for tweeting an opinion that defies the Valley?s infinite wisdom, I know that this post will offend many in Silicon Valley?as did my piece on why I Craigslisted my iPads. �But I just don?t believe that Quora will ?rule? or become anything like Facebook or Twitter. �It has been a very nice private club; but it?s not for the general public. Quora is a new question-and-answer site on which a few notable members of Silicon Valley?s tech elite have expressed their opinions. �Some of the discussions have been very informative; some, completely misinformed. �Some questions are of general interest, such as: Will there be a tech sector crash in the near future?; some are obscure: Who are the most successful entrepreneurs with Iranian roots?; some are just plain silly: How much does Netflix spend on postage each�year? Quora?s membership is growing largely because of the attention that TechCrunch has given it (including the Best Startup award). Over the last month, I received dozens of messages from TechCrunch readers asking what I think about Quora and why I am not using it.
