Quora, The Online Camfire

Welcome To The Campfire

There has been a recent increase in the number of online knowledge sharing website, and the one to watch for is Quora, a site that I use personally.

It was co-founded by Mike Cheever and Adam D'Angelo who is ex CTO of Facebook.

The site basically provides you the "best answer for any question" as it claims.

Its has an amazing conglomeration of CEOs professors, subject experts, college students, inventors and just nerds (there I said it).

The site is valued at $800 million, and its forecasted to increase exponentially.

(Quora's Office, looks pretty serious in there)

If you do decide to join it you are required to pick out the topics that interests, once you're done with it you find that your stream is constantly flooded with really amazing mind bending questions, situations that you never really bothered to look at differently.

So you can check out the site here.

Google And Facebook To Connect The World Through Drones

Google recently launched its "Project Loon". The idea behind it is to provide Internet for everyone by launching baloons through the stratosphere that carry modems on board.

Now Facebook as well as Google have deceide to bring nearly 2/3rds of the population that are offline, online.
Google purchased the company Titan Aerospace and Makani Wind Power for the very same purchase.

 

The drones by Titan Aerospace reportedly will have the ability to stay in flight for a continous 5 years at a stretch. The drones will be solar powered which means that they don't have to stop continuosly for recharging its turbines.

Facebook has also announced that it has plans to soon deploy solar powered drones so as to provide internet speeds of uptop 1GB/s. It too has purchased London based Ascenta Aerospace to develop these drones.

You can check out more about Titan Aerospace here.
You can check out more information about the project at The Verge here.
