very good idea.. this shows a number of differences with Wikipedia: author is explicitly named.. different versions of a particular subject are available: best one will emerge..?

C DeeLes auteurs sont identifiés et les articles sont uniquement modifiables, si accord de l'auteur, par un processus de relecture par les pairs. Les auteurs bénéficient d'une rémunération pour leur travail de rédaction grâce aux publicités AdSense placées à coté des articles. "Knol", pour "Knoledge". C'est très vraissemblablement le concept le plus prometteur. Google a plusieurs armes, et en particulier celle-ci : plus de moitié des internautes visitant wikipédia proviennent du moteur de recherche Google. A l'heure actuelle, wikipédia triche en multipliant les liens internes d'une page à l'autre ce qui conduit à augmenter le page rank dans le moteur de recherche. Pour l'instant Google a tolèré ce procèdé mais cela pourrait bien entendu changer. Si la position des liens vers wikipédia baisse dans le moteur, ces pages seront moins visitées et wikipédia régressera.

Earlier this week, we started inviting a selected group of people to try a new, free tool that we are calling "knol", which stands for a unit of knowledge. Our goal is to encourage people who know a particular subject to write an authoritative article about it.

Sylvia RiessnerLooks like they're trying to take over from where the Wikipedia guy left off when he recreated the idea of social encyclopedias where people identified who they were when they wrote an entry - find the name of his site and do an article?

Mark WagnerGoogle's explanation of their product set to compete with Wikipedia. I think wikipedia will still have an important place... and IMHO may still eclipse any attempts such as Googles, though I expect the knols will have a value as well.

At the heart, a knol is just a web page; we use the word "knol" as the name of the project and as an instance of an article interchangeably. It is well-organized, nicely presented, and has a distinct look and feel, but it is still just a web page. Google will provide easy-to-use tools for writing, editing, and so on, and it will provide free hosting of the content.
-
Add Sticky NoteA knol on a particular topic is meant to be the first thing someone who searches for this topic for the first time will want to read. The goal is for knols to cover all topics, from scientific concepts, to medical information, from geographical and historical, to entertainment, from product information, to how-to-fix-it instructions. Google will not serve as an editor in any way, and will not bless any content. All editorial responsibilities and control will rest with the authors. We hope that knols will include the opinions and points of view of the authors who will put their reputation on the line. Anyone will be free to write. For many topics, there will likely be competing knols on the same subject. Competition of ideas is a good thing.
-
-
Add Sticky NoteKnols 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.
-
ah, great idea.. why not making money out of some effort? Why write an article anonymous on Wikipedia, or write a knol that both can be valuable for the world as for you?
Especially if the knol enables many more possibilities and lowers the barrier for writing and reviewing info.

-
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.

The key idea behind the knol project is to highlight authors. Books have authors' names right on the cover, news articles have bylines, scientific articles always have authors -- but somehow the web evolved without a strong standard to keep authors names highlighted. We believe that knowing who wrote what will significantly help users make better use of web content. At the heart, a knol is just a web page; we use the word "knol" as the name of the project and as an instance of an article interchangeably. It is well-organized, nicely presented, and has a distinct look and feel, but it is still just a web page.
