Quora is a question-and-answer platform where users can ask questions and receive answers from other users in the community. It was founded in 2009 by Adam D'Angelo and Charlie Cheever. The site covers a wide range of topics, allowing individuals to seek information on everything from science and technology to personal advice and culture.
Users can create accounts, follow topics or other users, and contribute by answering questions or engaging in discussions. Quora's format encourages knowledge sharing and collaboration, and it also allows for upvoting and downvoting of answers, helping to highlight the most useful or relevant responses.
Quora is known for its emphasis on high-quality content, and some users, including experts in their fields, contribute insightful answers. The platform also allows for anonymity, enabling users to ask sensitive or personal questions without revealing their identities.
