1.0 INTRODUCTION :
Quora is a question-and-answer site where
questions are asked, answered, edited, and
organized by its community of users in the
form of opinions. Any person who is registered
with the website can ask any question and all
others will get a chance to answer it and the
questioner will get different opinions or
answers from different people. Another person
who have same question can also view all the
answers and can get the knowledge. Users can
also collaborate by editing questions and
suggesting edits to answers that have been
submitted by other users. Quora’s mission is to
share and grow the world’s knowledge. A vast
amount of the knowledge that would be
valuable to many people is currently only
available to a few either locked in people’s
heads, or only accessible to select groups. So, it
connects the people who have knowledge to
the people who need it, to bring together
people with different perspectives so they can
understand each other better, and to empower
everyone to share their knowledge for the
benefit of the rest of the world. Its publisher,
Quora Inc. is based in Mountain View,
California. The company was founded in June
 2009, and the website was made available to
the public on June 21, 2010.
