SOPA And Quora

SOPA is obviously a huge issue these days. Whether there is more panic than is merited is not clear to me. But this is not a post about SOPA; it is a post about Quora.

I was curious about what people were saying about SOPA, so I decided to check out the questions and answers in Quora. Now, I know there are a million things out there on SOPA and probably anyone interested would read about it elsewhere.

Having said that, the Quora activity seemed meager, to say the least. For example, 13 people are following the question What is the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA)? Looking at related questions, the numbers seem to go down from there.

My initial (and continuing) reaction to Quora is that it is a great way to cluster commentary and opinion around topics. I wonder though if it is not losing steam/market share. If this is the case, and I suspect that it is, there are probably several reasons for it.
