Some of the most interesting and relevant content on Quora linked from their seats. So far, however, not much done to Quora concentrate these data using the location. Today they start.

A new feature going live soon will allow users to specify location information by topic. For example, if the theme of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, now you can drag and drop a PIN to indicate where on the map. This place will display each time you view the topic. And the map can be set to show satellite or terrain view (they're using Google Maps). You can also enter specific addresses.

This may not sound like a big deal, but it most likely indicates where Quora thinks about heading to the location itself. The company noted that, as more people use the service from their mobile phones, location-based questions and answers are becoming increasingly important. This is something that other startups as Hipster, were built around.

Location more generally also allows Quora link topics together in a new way. For example, if you are considering a trip somewhere, you could look at interesting information around the area you're headed, than might otherwise have surfaced on the overall query.

It looks like Facebook is not only taking place more seriously.

Hey people interested in interning at Facebook, ask a question about this on QUORA.

Is Quora is a more appropriate venue for discussion of nerd topics like this and Facebook questions (once claimed as "the next killer Facebook application") no longer has the function of "ask a question for all", but nevertheless, people could just leave your questions in the comments.
