Quora has a lot of high-quality content. Yeah, you have to sift through some garbage, but compared to Yahoo! Answers it's a different world. Most of the time, the top answer will be a good one.
It may not stay that way forever, but thus far, the quality of the best content is really good when you consider that people wrote it for free, and that the filter is some mix of community voting and machine learning (as opposed to expert curation).
That said, I didn't know about the US-only policy (that was a bad idea) and I'm glad they've changed it. The "social" integration definitely pisses me off, because 90% of "social" in this era is alienation. I considered quitting when I found out that my activity was getting piped out to Facebook. Awful decision.
