American social question and answer website Quora to launch the integration function

Sina Science and technology news Beijing time November 15 afternoon, after 5 months of testing, social questions and answers website Quora Tuesday officially launched two new features: "Please answer" (ask to Answer) and Quora points (Quora credits). Now, all Quora users can earn points through initiatives and interactive activities, such as answering questions that are asked, and voting for the answers they give. Users can also donate points to each other. The points cannot be exchanged for cash, so some people may ask, Quora want users to spend points on what things?　　Obviously, Quora wants users to "spend" points to get "important people" to answer their questions. For example, if the average user answers the "Find co-founder" Web site, which business model is better? is Match.com or eharmony "This problem, can earn 45 points. and Quora CEO Adam De Anglo (Adam D ' Angelo) has a higher rating, if he answers "What is the important difference between a normal mainstream user and an early consumer?"　　"Users who ask this question will be reduced by 960 points." To strengthen this user hierarchy, Quora will recommend subject matter experts to users when they ask questions. For example, when a user labels his problem "user interface", Quora the user with a number of experts like 37signals product manager Ryan Singh (Ryan Singer).　　Once the user refuses to answer the question they are asked, they can also send the reason to the system. Quora Integral is a total attempt to quantify Quora value exchange, so that users know where they are.　　Of course, this feature is quite complex, but it may work, especially if it is only an intermediate step: perhaps Quora will ultimately give the person who answered the question a substantial return-real money. Charlie Cheever, co-founder of Quora, said: "We will certainly consider the issue of profitability, but this new feature is designed to give users a better answer to their questions." Judging from our test results, the Quora integration function is quite promising, so I expect it to perform very well, and we will continue to expand and improve the Quora integration function.
