Thanks to walled gardens such as Facebook which provide an information highway, with the potential to dethrone Google's monopoly of discovery and answers, companies are realising that owning ones identity, and the route of which they access information, is a gold mine that is infinitely valuable.

For that reason, companies are not taking any chances, and they won't let any potential threats such as foursquare, Apple's Siri, Facebook, Twitter, and Quora, take their place.

Because of this, it makes perfect sense why Quora should be valued at $1billion, like Instagram. The name of the game is Kill Google, and the [nuclear] weapons used to do so are massive, hence the high valuations.

Facebook's $1bn Instagram puchase, was used to build a moat, so that Google couldn't buy it.
And Quora's $400m valuation is priced so high in its infancy, so that if Quora ever does happen to be a threat to Google in the future, that the investors would have capitalised on it, and not anyone else.

Think about it!
