Quora is annoying as hell. You need to log in to see the answers or do anything. Talked to one of the dev why they do this and he sorta dodge the question, I got the hint so I left it as is. Quora is useless to me in general and Stackoverflow is much better.
Path, I've heard of path and I don't care for it. I've moved away from Facebook and hardly use it anymore. So yeah, the mass migration of Facebook and other social site is probably a trend.
Foursquare, I admire it a lot. I love the business model and the app is pretty decent, better than Yelp that's for sure.
It also does some shady things to increase engagement. I sent a Quora link to a friend, she created an account to be able to read it and the next day I got an email from Quora that she followed me (it also said that she is already following four other people). In reality, she did nothing. She just read the article, didn't follow anyone.
On June 4th I asked Quora to permanently delete my account. When I started reading answers there, I don't think you had to "sign up to read" as the front page now requests (without an account). It's gradually escalated what's required until I just found it too onerous to participate. I don't want to share my interests with them and I certainly don't want to share my contacts list with them.
I'm probably an outlier but I really only found a couple interesting questions a month, so I don't think I'll miss Quora.
