I'm not sure I'd support that, but before they drop Quora they should consider dropping Answers.com. I don't think any reasonable person would argue that site isn't a complete waste of space.


Somehow I still occasionally get Experts Exchange popping up in my Google results. I didn't realize they even still existed.


Me too, it popped up like last week and was the only result I could find (I already moved from DDG to Google because the results were irrelevant with any keyword combination I could make) and the answer was, like on stackoverflow, some "accepted" kind of answer (so marked by the person who asked the question). All posts were readable except that one: for the marked-as-answer post, you had to pay.

They've certainly moved on from scrolling down to see the answer...


I surprisingly frequently find answers to extremely obscure older tech issues on Experts-Exhange.

I avoided them for years, but at least as of a year ago, you don't need to pay to see the answer, just wait 30 seconds.


Answers.com is frequently humorous, which is more than can be said of Quora. Answers.com therefore has much more value to me.


I enjoy a good (bad) wikihow article more than either. Top quality terrible art and hilarious q&a
