33 Quotes by Adam D'Angelo

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

More than a billion people use the Internet, yet only a tiny fraction contribute their knowledge to it.

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.

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.

We need to build systems that can automatically figure out what's high quality and what's not, and encourage users to contribute high-quality content. There's a lot of technical challenges in that.

When companies get big, they slow down. They're not as exciting. If you want to get something done, it takes a lot of time and a lot of meetings.

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.

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

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