When you look at Google, its job is to find you the perfect web page. There are a lot of cases when you want to know something and a list of websites isn't ideal.

From Adam D'Angelo

Most of the stuff that people look at on Quora today was not written in the last month. You write something really good, and maybe it's the definitive answer on the Internet for the next 10 years. Maybe it's only a year, but not like a tweet, where it's only relevant for a day or a week.

From Adam D'Angelo

The more questions and answers we get, the more useful Quora is.

From Adam D'Angelo

Focus on the long term, and always do what's right to grow the company and not make short-term decisions. And outlast everyone one.

From Adam D'Angelo

A lot of people really like to answer questions, and they really enjoy sharing their knowledge. Especially people who have valuable knowledge.

From Adam D'Angelo

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.

From Adam D'Angelo

We're more interested in someone writing a really great answer that's going to be read by thousands or tens of thousands of people over the next few years as it stays on Quora and as it gets distributed on the Internet.

From Adam D'Angelo

On Quora, you're not answering questions because you want to get points or because you have nothing else to do.

From Adam D'Angelo

I've really enjoyed starting Quora from the beginning. It's really nice to have a new start to things.

From Adam D'Angelo

You have to get comfortable giving up control, and you find people who do things better than you do. Quora now does better with the team we have built.
