Quora anyone? As a writer, I feel its neat, accessible and of course reliable. People are more likely to follow your profile on Quora than signup with their emails on your personal blog. And don't forget the easy-to-earn upvotes and shares. Down side: No analytics :(

As a reader, Quora gives me more insight about the author through answers on diverse topics.

Quora's content ownership and presence of personal branding is worse than Medium, which is quite an accomplishment.

Only because Medium hasn't accumulate‎d enough free content yet to disclose how they are planning on appropriating and monetizing it.

Don't forget Medium is brought to us from the makers of Twitter, with such classics as "Here's an API; get the fuck off of my API."

Well, Medium is good. But I like the way I find content on Quora than on Medium. Its more like I stumble upon a post through someone's good answers and comments. Feels more like a discovery. Medium gives me a much narrow view of the author. Something only what the author wants me to see and nothing more.
