Quora has become a great source of information for entrepreneurs, and pretty much anyone interested in a specific topic. In short, Quora is a well executed question and answer service that is currently in beta. WIth this, they've been able to choose who they want to let in while this in turn has helped them keep the quality of the answers very high. Another interesting aspect of the service that startups should take notice of, is the people they've managed to get on board.

Spotify Adds Millionth Member in Five Months
Andres from Spotify writes on their blog that Spotify has reached one million registered members. Considering Spotify was launched last October, it can be said to have grown with incredible speed. On average, the service has grown by 200 000 members a month or about 6600 members a day.
Spotify has been a media favorite - including ours', but the users love the service as well despite some of the shortcomings. A true viral service. Nevertheless, Spotify is well on its way to reshaping the music industry. It has to be said that it is ironic - Spotify is reshaping the music industry based on the exact technology that is behind the most notorious filesharing site in the world The Pirate Bay (and they both come from Sweden!) that is being sued by the very same industry (among others).
