Quora co-founder Charlie Cheever not only doesn?t want to sell his hot start-up but ? as he told me backstage earlier this week at Disrupt ? he even has an explicit non-goal of not selling the company. Non-goals or not, Cheever has a lot to smile about. Traffic is up to record levels at Quora and the site continues to be a paragon of innovation in the social space. In this interview he explains the difference between Quora and Wikipedia, and we get into many other orthogonal discussions as well. But I wonder if Cheever is tempting fate by having such an explicit non-goal. After all, he?ll look 'a right Charlie' if Quora gets snapped up in the frenzy of acquisitions that will probably mark the post LinkedIn-IPO social marketplace.Si parla tanto del bello che è nella certezza; sembra che si ignori la bellezza più sottile che c'è nel dubbio. Credere è molto monotono, il dubbio è profondamente appassionante. Stare all'erta, ecco la vita; essere cullato nella tranquillità, ecco la morte.
