Quora is a question-and-answerwebsite where users make inquiries, answer them, and modify and organize them.

It was Co-establishedby previous Facebook representatives – Adam D’Angelo and Charlie Cheever in June2009, and was made available to people in general on June 2010.The magnificence ofQuora is its validness and authenticity. It is a stage for sharing knowledge,rather than information, where one can expect genuine answers, with certaintiesand evidences. The Quora people group incorporates some notable individuals,for instance, Mark Zuckerberg, Marc Andreessen, Dustin Moskovitz, Jimmy Wales,Stephen Fry, John Green (creator), Adrián Lamo, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama,and so forth.

And that is why hestarted Quora, his first real attempt at being a startup CEO.”Regardless of the waythat, Quora resembles any similarity of Facebook, Wikipedia, Yahoo Answers,Answers.com, yet works in an unexpected way.
