Imagine that you are transported by a time machine to somewhen in the depths of prehistory, like maybe 2005 or something. Imagine further that you subsequently must try to convince people there/then that one day in the future, an online service which codifies, organizes, and ranks excellent answers to very nearly any imaginable question--for free!--will be wildly less successful than one that lets people post messages of 140 characters or less.I think you would have a hard time. From the early days of Quora, when it was the Biggest Thing In The Valley, people have been saying "Quora will be bigger than Twitter." But--sorry. No. Not even close.There are various theories as to why. Some claim "Quora power-users, the self-proclaimed elite who dominate the site, prevent Quora from growing its community."
