Is Quora really struggling? My posting there is getting more and more engagement all the time (more importantly, this compete.com profile looks quite promising: http://siteanalytics.compete.com/quora.com/)

Also, how much does running Quora actually cost? If Adam D'Angelo has many Billions of dollars, I can't see them ever having a financial issue.

If they're not making money, they have a "financial issue" from day one.

This.

I'm not sure GP understands the difference between company finances and personal fortune?

cmon dont be patronizing, point is D'Angelo can float this thing as long as he wants

That profile shows pretty clearly that they've increased their monthly uniques by about 100k since February, when they'd been increasing by 100k _per month_ for the 5 months before that. I would not call that "promising".

is your point that given the expectations, growing at the level of 100,000s users isn't good for Quora? cause most sites would be happy with that performance
