Improving Quora

1. Search sucks. Rip it out and replace it (or at the very least augment it) with a site:quora.com Google search. Split questions/answers/people/blogs/topics/etc out into individual SERPs to browse.
2. Main feed should be augmented Circles-style with topic-group feeds. Let users create their own feeds of topics they follow (e.g. Sports including their sports teams, football, etc) or create them for them (Technology, Current Events, etc).
3. Users should be able to filter out (or temporarily mute) specific topics or question series ("What's the best restaurant in X?") to clean up their feed.
4. There's plenty of room to turn Quora into a two-column feed, with your regular stream on the left and question/answer pages you open on the right.
5. Hovering over a user should show their question/answer/edit counts, a truncated (expandable) bio, their TW status over the years, and their recent top answers. A tab for following them or sending them a quick private message would be rad, too.
6. The followers/following pages are absolutely horrendous and would benefit from a more grid-based layout with hovercards.
7. Answers to questions should be able to be sorted by upvotes, comments, recency, length, or the standard sort order.
8. I should be able to anonymously follow questions or upvote answers from my feed, probably with a tiny (optional) dropdown on the respective buttons.
9. The notifications shade is a tiny dropdown that always has to scroll. Really? Beef that sucker up.
