Question: Which Quora users have the most followers? Answer: Ask QuoraTop

Hat tip to Louis Gray who posted about QuoraTop. QuoraTop provides a list of the Quora users who have the most followers. It’s like twitaholic but for Quora. Is this another sign that Quora is the next big thing? Maybe but that’s just tech bubble talk. Anyway, I thought Quora was all about questions and who could provide the best answers and not about who has the most followers… Louis said it best, “The second-most popular activity on the Internet (ego stroking)” .

Regardless, QuoraTop started because of the “Which Quora users have the most followers?” question on Quora and thus QuoraTop was born. QuoraTop was created by Matt Mastracci and is not affiliated with Quora.

Instead of who has the most followers on Quora what I would like to see is who has provided the best answer, or the most answers, or who has been thanked the most on Quora. All of those list including who has the most followers could come from Quora themselves via a soon to be announced API.

What type of Quora list would you like to see from Quora’s API?

The peeing guide to social media – infographic

It started with a tweet about peeing. I’m not sure if @TCATAndy was the first one to tweet it but after a little research it seems so because it has been retweeted over 100+ times and now some social media practitioners are are calling it the peeing social media definition. As if you needed an visual to go with the tweet mind jumpers has created the “Social Media Definition by Peeing [infographic]”

You can tell me about your pee in the comments below.

Four landing page resources to increase website traffic and visitor signups

Did you hear about the “stealth” startup called Hipster that got 10,000 signups in two days? Yes, that’s right 10,000 signups. While that is impressive you would think on the website there was a lot of marketing text but no. The only text on the website reads “Something cool is coming to “city location”. and “Enter your email and we’ll put you on our invite list.” The text was simple, inviting users to signup and receive exclusive access to a site that no one really knew what Hipster was or did. The marketing behind the Hipster is what really makes a successful landing page along with some Silicon Valley bubble hype.

Landing pages are essential to a startup’s success or any website that is promoting/selling a product and trying to get users to signup. While working on TriOut and Cover Tech News, I found a few landing pages resources. Here are four landing page resources to help you increase visitor engagement.
