Quora, a question-and-answer startup that's basically Yahoo Answers with crumbs of intelligence sprinkled on top, may not live to see forever, but it could make it to Hollywood. According to Variety, a response posted to the site is now being optioned as a television series.

Y Combinator, which has been going through an identity crisis, just welcomed Quora (a $900 million, 7-year-old company) into its summer batch of early-stage startups. The accelerator will also invest in Quora's latest round, which happened one minute ago and was supposed to keep the Q&A site independent "forever and ever."

Forever is a mighty long time. Just ask Prince. But that's the lifespan that Quora thinks it scored by accepting $140 million in venture capital. According to Re/code, the Series C round values the 4-year-old, revenue-less Q&A site at $900 million, more than double the $400 million it was "worth" in 2012.

The overwhelming evidence against giving a 20-something Stanford kid millions of dollars for a startup and letting him run wild continues to pile: an anonymous post by a former employee says Clinkle's CEO screwed his staff out of money.

Quora says it has "no near term plans" of attempting to make any money at all, likely because it was founded by two extremely rich people and doesn't need to ever make money. We need to rethink what's considered a "business."

Quora, the question-and-answer site that convinced investors to part with a whopping $61 million, is notoriously unwilling to release any concrete data about its growth—preferring, instead to dole out vague vanity metrics. Maybe that's because its traffic is coming from outside the U.S.

Quora is a company with a made up name, two very rich founders, and a very, very ambitious goal: to categorize all the world's knowledge. Maybe that'll happen someday, but in the meantime, it's sending out some seriously annoying email.

If Quora's presumptuous plan to "grow the world's knowledge" doesn't work out, perhaps it can pivot into a Silicon Valley burn book. This insider spat between blogger-turned-investor Ben Parr and Napster founder John Fanning is a good start. Things got so litigious, a Quora admin had to put on his Tina Fey bossy pants and break things up.

Quora can be a place to discuss race relations, poorly. Quora can be a place to explain your company's position in the eternal geo-political battle between good and evil. Or it can be a cry for help: "I'm pretty sure my reality is stuck in a bubble of tech startup culture."

Quora bills itself as nothing less than "your best source of knowledge"—not your dad, not your librarian, not Wikipedia. The company, spawned by two righteous Facebook alumni (one since ousted), has raised tens of millions from investors who think it can back this claim up. But a little poking around shows Quora's got a lot of learning to do—today it's the Tumblr of opinions.
