Reviving the Quora Singapore Community: A Weekend Meetup in November 2012

As a passionate community builder, I've often wondered about the potential for a more active Quora community in Singapore. With a vibrant pool of talented writers and thinkers, a dedicated meetup would surely bring us closer together and foster meaningful discussions.

Opportunities for an Active Community

Given the numerous talented writers from Singapore, it's only logical to propose the formation of a more active Quora community. Hosting a meetup on a weekend or Friday evening, located in or near the city center, would likely attract a higher number of attendees. It's worth considering these dates and locations to maximize participation.

Proposed Format for the Meetup

The meetup itself would serve as an opportunity to share interesting anecdotes, obscure trivia, and personal jokes. Suggested topics include:

An interesting real-life anecdote where you learnt something valuable Some interesting obscure random trivia in history, culture, art, tech, etc., that you reckon I wouldn’t know Your dirtiest, funniest joke that may be the same joke (just for fun!) Taking the "Cliff Test" to find out more about yourself

Previous Attempts

It's worth noting that in the past, there have been a couple of Quora meetups in Singapore, but these organizers eventually lost interest and the events fizzled out. This time around, let's aim to make a more sustained effort.

Meetup Details and Interest

There is a growing interest in reviving these meetups. Here are some comments from others who have shown interest:

Ryan: Excellent idea! Many Singaporeans are active writers on Quora. A well-organized meetup could bring more people together and increase participation. Friday evenings or weekends, preferably in the city center, would be ideal times and locations. Emma: This meeting could be very interesting. To ensure success, it would be beneficial to invite a number of more active Singaporean Quorans who are passionate about engaging and contributing. I'd be very interested in such an event. John: Sorry, I have a business trip that week. But let's make the most of the time we have. Who else is interested? Please let me know the date and time so I can plan accordingly. Jane: Count me in! Let's aim for the 28th of November. Can you provide details on the time and location?

Conclusion

Time is of the essence, and our goal should be to bring the Quora community in Singapore back together. By organizing a successful meetup, we can foster a more active and engaged community. Let's collaborate and make this happen!
