They will likely serve different markets

I imagine a dichotomy will develop where Q&A on facebook will be more of the "How can I get my crush to pay attention to me?" variety and Quora will be more of the "What is the evolutionary purpose of dreaming?" (actual Quora question) variety. The former will be more popular and the latter will be more useful. However, Cosmo sells way more copies than the Economist so in the $$ game, Facebook probably wins. Which begs another actual Quora question: "Is the Internet making us stupid and shallow thinkers?" http://www.quora.com/Is-the-Internet-making-us-stupid-and-shallow-thinkers
