Around the net in Online Marketing: Quora test "credits" system, user profiles

Questions and answers site Quora began testing credits system called "ask answer suggestions".

The price for questions at the end will increase or decrease based on the ability of the answerer to answer questions, as well as their experience of the subject.

Quora has also added the option to include the location information and employment in user profiles, allowing users to broadcast social and business information such as where they live, go to school and work.
