Secret + Quora = Quibbles

I don't have any problem with the idea - I think that it's interesting and worth trying - and yea, might not be a "company" but more of an "art project" - but that's kinda what all great social media companies started out as.

I'm interested to ask you gals and guys what you think about things being "overdesigned". Is this a thing? We see the massive success of simple and maybe not the sexiest products all the time. I think part of that is the crappier it looks, the more likely it's someone just doing something in their garage for fun versus trying to juice user engagement to raise $1M. I like supporting individuals trying new things honestly. I'm conflicted with the latter.

Thoughts?

I really don't want to be the first to comment, and being unnecessary critical... but: Quora is Quora because of the whole real name aspect. Quality answers and everything else comes after that BECAUSE of the real name, not despite of it: readers can judge the credential of the one answering the question, and additionally, users seems to be much more hesitant in putting up crap with their name attached to it.

I guess I'm just pointing out that an "Anonymous Quora" sounds (to me) similar to a "Google without a search engine" (in the early day of Google, at least), or an "Antisocial Facebook".

Secret + Quora = Reddit

It's anonymous, but have to login with a facebook account to post? Useless.

<sarcasm> The questions are nothing what I expected. </sarcasm>

Seriously? Quora has an ask anonymous function
