It's no secret that Q&A site Quora is exploding in terms of usage and growth. Currently the site is getting around 164,000 unique visitors per month (December 2010 stats from comScore), and we've heard from a source that the service is doubling users every four months. The drawback to that kind of growth is that content could suffer in return (i.e. the Yahoo Answers issue). While Quora co-founder Charlie Cheever has alluded to some of the ways that the company is planning to mitigate this issue, he recently went into more detail about these initiatives in a new Quora post titled 'Scaling Up.' Cheever writes that the startup is working on several new projects to support to new users, moderate massive influxes of content and to help the site scale. One of the most interesting projects he mentioned was that the company is currently developing an algorithm to determine user quality, which will be a huge addition in terms of technology. Here's what Cheever wrote:
