Just heard about Google Knol so I looked it up knol (at google, where else) and the talk is about it being like wikipedia.
On Google’s Blog at http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2007/12/encouraging-people-to-contribute.html
google said it is open right now by invitation only but will be open to everyone soon.
quoted from google’s blog post:
“Knols will include strong community tools. People will be able to submit comments, questions, edits, additional content, and so on. Anyone will be able to rate a knol or write a review of it. Knols will also include references and links to additional information. At the discretion of the author, a knol may include ads. If an author chooses to include ads, Google will provide the author with substantial revenue share from the proceeds of those ads.
Once testing is completed, participation in knols will be completely open, and we cannot expect that all of them will be of high quality. Our job in Search Quality will be to rank the knols appropriately when they appear in Google search results. We are quite experienced with ranking web pages, and we feel confident that we will be up to the challenge. We are very excited by the potential to substantially increase the dissemination of knowledge”
