Quora de-anonymizer

Given an anon answer or question, come up with guesses for who that anonymous user would be.

Quora stalker

Given a Quora users id, build a detailed profile of a person and figure out exactly who they are.

Am I Smart or not ?

Develop "smartness" leaderboard of posters across the entire site.

Quora weighted upvotes

Given an answer, display all the answers in a weighted upvote centric manner rather than a flat upvote manner.

Run some kind of PageRank algorithm across users to assign them weights to upvotes, then present answers in a weighted upvote manner rather than a flat "one vote per answer" manner.
