Quora isn't the most open site out there, it's hard to find the list of followers unless you are logged in, and it's not discoverable as a anonymous/crawler user.

(i.e. a schema:Person to schema:follow a schema:Question or a schema:QAPage). Steph. [1] http://www.quora.com/College-Dropouts/Why-are-so-many-college-dropouts-successful-in-their-life/followers
