Ask HN: Are any of you resorting to Quora instead of 'Ask HN'?

This week I have found that asking questions on Quora and digging into certain topics has been extremely rewarding. Love Hacker News for its original purpose, but it seems that the Q&A on Quora is much better.

the thing that turned me off was you have to signup to see what it really is like.

I didn't sign up because you have to use a Twitter or Facebook account. I don't want to use either.

Another no here, putting the nos up five-zip. This sample might be a bit biased, though. How about asking this question on Quora and seeing if you get a different result?

I use both. Quora is better for talking to entrepreneurs who've creTed million dollar companies and lawyers and understanding startup funding. IMHO I get a feeling of what it's like to live in a place SV - ie everyone is an entrepreneur. Of course I'm talking about the startup part of quora. Very informative.

Yes. Better (by some margin IMO) than the quality of answers here, and across a wider variety of subjects. The format works better as well.

Imagine if google required you to sign up before you could search for anything.
