What are people's opinions of Quora for SEM?

What are people's opinions of Quora for SEM? Early last year many were excited about its potential but I must admit I haven't explored quora as much as I should have.
I do find it a good resource for getting answers to my questions but how do people turn this into an SEO tool?
This is probably sacrilege for most SEMs but I don't think Quora has taken off over here in the UK as it has in the US.
I'd be interested to hear your thoughts as an SEO community and how you've used Quora successfully.
Cheers.

Yeah I suppose this question is now quite academic since G+ has launched search plus your world.

We've used it on a testing basis for national terms and regional. For "national" keywords, it's had no impact. But, for anything regional, it has been tremendous in sending targeted traffic to the client sites.
It doesn't send a ton of traffic (about 3 a day) but those three are usually people looking for a vendor, so it works out well for that particular client.

Why isn't open graph working for this URL?
When I post this URL (http://goo.gl/iDMsJq) to my Facebook page, the image is small, and it isn't pulling the correct description. I checked FB object debugger, and it looks fine - so why isn't it working properly when I post to Facebook? https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.healthline.com%2Fhealth-slideshow%2Fquit-smoking-timeline

Help to raise a charity's Face book profile to raise funds
Hi, I am new here and its my first question. I am helping a charity on pro-bono basis on their SEO. They do a great job by looking after terminally ill children with no costs to parents. 60% of their funding is through various fund raising events. They know some well known actors and sports personality who may be willing to help. They have asked my to look at their Facebook page and help to raise its profile and no of likes increase interaction with donors & general public and most importantly use it to raise funds Any ideas/ help/suggestions will be really appreciated. Thank you, Syed

Need people's opinion on if this is good advice for link building
What google wants is authority, relevancy, quality and engagement. If you have an authority in your niche and place relevant content on your website plus grammar free, unique and a lot of words, and social influence via Twitter, Facebook, Google +... You shouldn't be worried about the speed of building back links. I checked your website and it seems like an authority site. PR5, 18K backlinks plus $38K SE free traffic (according to SEMrush)... You just need a social influence to boost your authority. Create Twitter, Facebook, Google+ accounts for this website and also Facebook and Google+ pages. Then Create 30 web 2.0 accounts and on each one post three articles. Two of them are an account activation (this is what I call it), which can be just grabbed from ezinearticles and spun. Keep the links to the articles at the bottom of the pages. Once your web 2.0 sites are indexed by Google publish 800+ words quality relevant content with two links to your website. One to your root domain and one to the most relevant page your website (I mean relevant to the 800+ words article). Do this on each of those 30 web 2.0 sites. After this blast all of the 800+ articles with all kind of backlinks. Forum profiles, blog comments, article directories... Just use Senuke and other software. And don't forget to create a facebook fan page for each of the web 2.0 sites. In one month, you'll see a heck of a move in rankings. Where does the bookmarking part go? You need to bookmark every single URL you want Google to see. And if you want to outsource it, I highly recommend you to get a full time VA who would do this for you. Hope it helps. And your answer to your question about speed, if your site is older than 3 months don't care about the speed. Care about the quality.
