Overall Satisfaction with Quora Blogs

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

The blogging platform was just something that I used for my own personal blogging. I enjoyed the community feel off the blogs, however it lacked a few key features that could have made it a lot easier to use. It is mostly just a question and answer site more so than a blog.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Upvoting is a great way for your blog to get attention
It is generally fun to use
The platform is free

Cons

No widgets
Very little in the way of customization
Blogging seems to be a secondary feature to the Q&A features of the site.

Alternatives Considered

Blogger

In comparison to Blogger, Quora Blogs has its perks. However, I think for any serious blogging I would find myself going elsewhere just for the added features that seem to be missing from Quora such as widgets and advanced customization.

Other Software Used

Blogger, Tumblr

Likelihood to Recommend

Quora is definitely fine for personal blogging, but isn't really something that I would use to launch a professional blog. There isn't really a way to promote yourself aside from getting upvotes and approval from other users. It isn't a cash cow like some other blogging sites can be, it is mostly for fun.

Not the best, but not terrible either.
