Experience of great Innovators: In the days of college, together with Mark Zuckerberg, created a software for the music suggestion.
Before the start of the website, the Adam was employed in Facebook. Mark Zuckerberg has a relationship with his childhood. Both became friends in the Phillips Exeter Academy. Adam took the degree of graduation in computer science from the California Institute. Here Zuckerberg also was with him. Here, Adam studied from 2002 to 2006. There was an equality in both of them, both of them came late in class. Then both of them got together and created a music suggestion software. This was suggested by the user’s choice. Its name was a Synapse Media Player. It was very successful so Microsoft bought it. After that, he created Buddy Zoo web site. which allowed users to upload their buddy’s list and compare them with those of other buddy users. During the study here, he took a break from his education for one year. This was due to Zuckerberg’s help to develop Facebook. This was the early days of Facebook. During their learning, their abilities and talents began to come out. In 2002, he won the Silver Medal of International Olympiad Informatics.
“Adam D’Angelo started quora company in 2008”
After completing his education, Adam came with Zuckerberg to work for Facebook. Then when CTO left his job, the reason was that Facebook was in the good situation. Facebook has risen so much. I was feeling that there was nothing to do for me here. I was feeling that the company does not actually need me anymore. Here I wanted to work that would be more useful and useful.
“This startup has progressed rapidly in seven years and today it has become a $ 900 million company”
Adam says that people have many information that does not exist on the Internet. This is a knowledge based on the experience of his life. That’s why we created a common platform for sharing knowledge of every type of people, which name is Quora. Meanwhile, there was a question that people promoted themselves but we did not attention to it. Our focus was to bring high quality information only on the QUORA. Knowledgeable users who are silent about the curiosity of the user and get work knowledge.
Our beginning was very simple. We told friends that they use this platform. It gives feedback about the loss and benefits. This was a start period. After that, these friends told him about friends and asked to use them. I can say that we are really successful in bringing some useful and valuable content to Quora and attracting people.
“Adam’s wealth is $ 600 million”
About the idea of the platform where he came from, he says that in the college there was such a thing in the brain to prepare the platform. Then, when the opportunity was available, started work on it. He says that working experience in Facebook is a good one. One thing I learned was that people working with them should be good. If you can bring the good people together, then a big job is done to succeed. One more thing is that the world actually changes with speed.
“The quora is question answer platform. Where user can share information”
That’s why Technology is one that changes with time. We know that the change will need to be able to improve as quickly as possible and our company is ready for it. It says that the second benefit of working with Zuckerberg in Facebook is that I learned that the idea is important. But more importantly, it is how it is implemented.
