Tired of the short messages found on Facebook and Twitter?
The hot new website Quora may be just what you're looking for. It's a question and answer site that encourages long, thoughtful discussions.
The Wall Street Journal's Katie Boehret says the site has potential, but needs polish.
"The instructions are very bare bones. It's hard to understand right off the bat and it is very text-heavy. It's very dense – so you might not really get it right at first," said Boehret.
Her full review is available on the Wall Street Journal website .
