So, Forbes is republishing Quora answers now? This must be part of that new strategy where they try to gain more traffic (http://www.forbes.com/sites/kashmirhill/2012/02/16/how-targe...) with other people's content (http://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/19/magazine/shopping-habits.h...).



These answers are republished by Quora to Forbes, with permission from the original authors. See this for more info: http://www.quora.com/How-does-Forbes-decide-which-Quora-answ...


I asked the original question, and I was never notified that they were posting it to Forbes. I guess it is kinda cool. I suppose they only notify/ask permission from the people, who write the answers.


Indeed, that's the situation. There is a partnership.


Slate appears to have a similar partnership, with the first such post appearing earlier today: http://www.slate.com/blogs/quora.html
