So, what does The Time's tech taste arbiter
David Pogue make of question and answer site Quora? "There's an unbelievable
richness of answers," he writes. "But if you're getting the impression that Quora is, so far, for geeks, you're right." Also, along with questions as to why Quora asks new users to recommend the
service to friends, Pogue couldn't find any explanation of what Quora is or how it's different from Aardvark or Digg or Answerbag.com or Yahoo Answers. "There's a 'How do I get started using Quora?'
question that you can click, but the answers are baffling from the beginning: '1. Follow some topics that interest you. 2. Browse questions that interest you. 3. Add answers to questions you know
about.'" Overall, Pogue says he loves "crowdsourced" answer sites, but Quora still has some big questions to answer. Namely: "Why not make this thing easier for normal people to figure out?"
