What's It About?
QUORA is a community-based Q&A site. Users post questions on essentially any topic they're curious about, and other users provide the response. During registration, users are asked to identify five areas of interest to follow on a regular basis. Choices include a variety of subjects: everything from business to writing to history and dating. Registered users can post or respond to questions, post reviews, or add a blog about a topic. They can also follow other users and send them messages through the site.
Is It Any Good?
Most of Quora's content is submitted by users; they even wrote much of the site's basic FAQ information. There's no regular screening process in place to confirm all information posted on the site is correct, and the site relies on users to designate helpful responses. That system doesn't always provide the best level of quality, and it can make finding a complete, accurate answer complicated at times.
But Quora does have some selling points: Its format gives users a chance to learn about a wide variety of topics (according to Quora, there are currently posts about more than 250,000), and some authoritative sources post responses, according to Quora -- including CEOs and journalists. Quora can be a place for people to pose simple questions and share personal experiences. However, parents may want to let kids know that some things they read on the site may not be factual.
Talk to Your Kids About ...
Families can talk about evaluating user-submitted information. How can you tell if a response that someone posted on a website is accurate?
How many sources should you check to make sure a piece of information is true? What words or phrases might indicate that an item is someone's opinion, instead of being a fact?
What's the best way to respond if someone posts a sarcastic or unfriendly response to your question? Should you reply to that user's post at all?

Did we miss something on diversity?
Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by
