If you’re a developer you ought to be asking yourself the question. Which brings me to Quora. I read this story on Ivan Kirigin’s blog that shows that Quora was posting which articles you’re reading to other people without your consent. Would they be angry? And I have been for ages. Of course not.

I have answered a number of questions on Quora and I am generally pleased if a handful of people “vote up+ answer on Quora?”. Although an additional 140 Oswald episodes were produced over the next 14 years, none of them was nearly as successful as the first 26 installments, which were developed under Walt Disney’s tutelage.

You help them on stories, act as a source, develop real relationships, read their stories and eventually when you have news they’re more willing to have a conversation. And you need somebody who is committed to keeping up your presence in blogs, social media and other online forums. It’s a continual process.

By the way, I don’t spell check my blog posts either. It was a sufficient barrier and we developed social graces. In Adam’s world, I’m rude. Twitter messages? Must I answer all of those? I actually prefer them because they’re only 140 chars (sometimes 280). But sometimes I get busy. I guess that’s rude. I’m not an elitist a **e.
